Turning Grace (The Turning, #1)


Review: Turning Grace - Book #1 The Turning Series - J.Q Davis - 2014 

Seeing the cover of this book , it drew me in and captivated me - I just knew that I would want to pick up the book and start reading it and I loved it. However, in parts I was a little confused and had to re-read the sentence or two just to make sure I was reading correctly. Turning Grace starts off with little Grace at five years old coming home from the hospital and she  has been sick. Apparently she is all cured now. Then next thing we know her mother has woken up and her finger is missing. It's at this point we know something strange is happening with Grace. Next thing we know she is seventeen and living with her mother. There is no mention of the incident or her father , this was one of the points I had to go back and re-read to make sure I hadn't missed anything as I was like - what just happened here ? The other thing I was thinking was what happened to the rest of Grace's family as I thought she had a older sister Lucy - turns out that Lucy was actually her pet puppy.  We learn that for the past 10+ years her mum changed her name and moved away, hiding Grace from the truth of what was really wrong with her. Feeding her and making sure she takes the correct nutrients. Now that Grace is seventeen her appetite is increasing and if she doesn't get food fast she deteriorates at a quicker pace until she gets the food in. When things start to spiral out of control , how long can Grace keep it under wraps and from her mother before bad things start occurring ? What will happen when Grace learns the truth of who she really is and why she is the way she is ? Can Veronica get Grace the help she needs to manage her condition before anymore get hurt and people start asking questions ? 
Find out in this fast-paced read that kept me captivated from the very first biting incident.  If you love Horror and the Supernatural , then you will love Turning Grace by JQ Davis. I now can't wait to read the next few books in the series.

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...
