Touch 

Review: Touch - Claire North - February 2015

When I first saw this book and read the blurb I expected a murder mystery as the cover looked creepy especially those eyes and it talked about killers on the back cover. As I started reading it though, I was in for a bumpy ride as this was one of those stories that you will find a weird read, but at the same time you will find it intriguing and addictive and you will not want to put it down as you want to keep reading and find out what happens next. The main character as we learn in Touch is known as Kepler - I am going to go with her as when I was reading the novel, I kept for some reason associating her with more of a female gender. Kepler though started out hundreds of years ago as a young boy who was beaten up and left for dead, until he grabbed the killer's ankle and next thing he knows he is in the body of his killer. So began the journey of what is known as Touch or Body-hopping and Kepler is one of many whom are called "ghosts" as they are spirits of a kind who hop from one body to another whenever they want. Some stay longer in bodies, others can be short-term or even a couple of hours . Just as long as they get done what they need to or extract some sort of information/revenge. Someone however is killing the ghosts as a ghost can die while in a hosts body and now Kepler is one of the few that are alive and well. Can Kepler stay alive as she goes through her past tracking down ex-hosts and old friends in order to stay a couple of steps ahead of the organisation Aquarius who want this ghost exterminated ? 
This was quite a fast-paced book and holds the readers attention as the chapters are only 2-4 pages long , most are 2 pages long and as I said the writing style is one that will captivate the reader and not want you to put the book down.

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...
