Center Stage!

Review: Center Stage - Caitlyn Duffy - September 2015

All Alison Burch wants and dreams of is being a famous singer , it wouldn't be that hard as her best friend's father is famous musician Chase Atwood - but her friend Taylor isn't into that scene and her family aren't the average Hollywood types. On a whim, Alison decides to enter into the Center Stage competition - this competition is a reality TV music show and is set up like The Voice where each singer will ask you to be on their team. Alison fakes her age and gets an audition and to her surprise gets on the show, now she must come clean to her parents if she wants to move to the next round of the show. Also her friend Taylor's dad is one of the hosts , but she hasn't seen Taylor since her mum's funeral - will the friendship be a happy reunion or will it be a disaster as they both want different lives ? One of the show's requirements is that the contestants do not fall in love but what happens when they are down to the final three and Alison and Elliott start having feelings for each other , can they hold off till the end of the show or will their feelings overpower their senses and ruin their chances of becoming famous ? Will the pair choose fame or love ? 
Center Stage is a teen read , but I would say due to the content it is appropiate for tweens aged 12 and up to 16-17 years will enjoy.

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...
