New Point

Review: New Point - Book #1 The Point Series - Olivia Luck - September 2014

One of my favourite things about reviewing is that you have the chance to discover new authors and hidden gems in the indie world and one of those hidden gems is New Point by Olivia Luck. This book was awesome and I loved it so much.  Ever since I was younger, I have enjoyed reading books where almost like the witness protection programme , the characters go somewhere to start new and hide the secrets of their past and of course it all comes back in full-force which does tell us that no matter what we cannot run from our pasts, we must always confront them. In New Point, we meet Zoe who nine months ago was a survivor in a school shooting when Clinton Smith came into the school library she was working at and held a gun to her. She talked him out of it and he was arrested , now nine months later Zoe is still on track to get her life back and has just moved to the small beach community of New Point where her family owned a summer house. She has also just got a job as a Children's librarian at the local library and is loving it and it seems that life is starting to shine as she is falling in love with next door neighbour Miles Wilson. What will happen though, when Zoe's past comes heading back to New Point and it starts to affect the life she is trying to build and the relationships with the people all around her ? Can Zoe let them into her heart and tell them what she went through ? Will they still look at her the same or will they turn their backs on her and walk away ?
New Point was a fast and enjoyable read that kept me captivated and I am looking forward to seeing what could happen next.  Also if you loved the Nicholas Sparks's movie Safe Haven, then you will enjoy New Point by Olivia Luck.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
