Lost Stars

Review: Lost Stars - Lisa Selin Davis - October 2016

For sixteen year old Carrie, her life seems to be falling apart and she feels like she can't hold on anymore and that soon she won't exist. Everyone seems to be leaving her as her older sister Ginger passed away from an accident and then her mother up and left for a health nut retreat which was supposed to be for two weeks but has now been nearly 3-6 months since she has seen her mother. Carrie also stopped hanging around her geeky science friends and started spending time with her older sister Ginger's friends and got into the whole drugs, drinking and music scene. Her father has had enough and is worried about Carrie and so with the help of his friends, he enrolls Carrie into a Summer work programme at the local park. Carrie arrives and discovers one of her former friends is doing the same programme, but neither are the same people they were years ago.  During the book we see that Carrie has a lot of Angst and teen drama going on , she also has an attitude to boot which we gather is hiding her true feelings of pain from the situation.  Lost Stars is a novel of finding your true self and coming back to who you are in a person after the midst of tragedy. I was able to relate to this a little as after my Mum died and even now in moments, you do feel lost and you feel that you lose a part of who you are and in ways your personality and the person you were before the incident have disappeared forever. Lost Stars is also a great read if you are a Science Geek or love Astronomy as there is plenty of pages depicting the stars and comets and sciencey stuff.

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...
