Review: Atlantis Rising - Gloria Craw - January 2015

One of the things I enjoy reading about is different cultures or in this case races , trying to blend into human life in order to survive. Hiding their true identites from the rest of the world.  All her life Alison has known that she is different and has the ability to place thoughts into people's heads. When she was eight years old, she met briefly someone who knew what she had done and he told her she was special and had to hide her secret as if she didn't dangerous things would happen. From then on, Alison has tried her best to become the invisible girl who know one notices. This year though, her perfect world is about to come crumbling down when people seem to be drawn to her and worst she can't put thoughts into her head. Turns out that these people are just like her and have been searching for her , as she is special and quite powerful.  Alison discovers that her birthplace was overrun by a Tyrant named Sebastian and her mother was the only person to ever stand up to him and was murdered shortly after Alison was born. If they have tracked her down though, it means Sebastian can too especially since her powers are becoming stronger. Can Alison be up to the challenge of learning about her past and history in order to stop Sebastian from hurting others and getting what he wants ? If you like fantasy and supernatural novels, then Atlantis Rising is the book for you. Do not be fooled though as it doesn't really have anything to do with Water Creatures as I originally thought looking at the cover and reading the title as Atlantis was the name of the lost city now supposedly hidden under water.

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: 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
