Wake the Hollow

Review: Wake the Hollow - Gaby Triana - August 2016

As a reader , you learn to discover topics and themes that will become favourites to read about - no matter what the setting of the book is. One of my favourite things is "Sleepy Hollow". I love the legend and any books that have the slightest hint of a rendition or about the characters of Sleepy Hollow - I will read. Hence my reading of Wake the Hollow by Gaby Triana. Micaela has just come back home after moving away years ago to live with her father in Miami when her parents separated as her mother decided not to follow them and remain in Sleepy Hollow. Her mother's whole life has been about the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and discovering the true ancestors of Washington Irving as it was rumoured he had a child out of wedlock but nobody could prove it. With the town built on old blood and history , there are people and families out there who do not want the truth to be revealed and will go to lengths to make sure it never sees the light of the day as the truth could be worth millions. Mica's mother has always believed that they are the true descendants , but what will happen when she stumbles upon reseatch that can prove her theory and turns up dead ? As Mica tries to get to the bottom of her Mother's death, she is stonewalled at every turn - is there bigger things at play that don't want her to find out the truth ?I have to admit the ending of this book in one way I did see it coming but in another twist , I was like Noooooooo when the actual bad guys were revealed - I have to admit I was a tad disappointed in one of the choices. Overall, however if you are a fan of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and want a fresh new look at the history of the author and his background , check out Gaby Triana's new book "Wake the Hollow".

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...
