Ghost of a Girl

Review: Ghost of a Girl - Tawny Stokes - March 2017


Ever get in those moods where every book you pick up, you just can't get into it? I was going through that one night, and then I finally came to Ghost of a Girl and must be some stock in the saying third time lucky. As soon as I read the first page of Ghost of a Girl by Tawny Stokes I was hooked. This book takes place in a small community town where the most popular girl in the high school Haven has just died. She was hit in a tragic accident and killed immediately. If Haven was the top of the high school food chain, then Daisy is the complete opposite as she isn't one to fit into cliques, etc. and was far removed from being popular.  Daisy has been asked by the school to create a memorial video of Haven and get some anecdotes from her friends. The thing is though that Daisy knew another side of Haven that her friends didn't know. Haven was bisexual and in a secret relationship with her next door neighbor Daisy. The two kept it secret and were planning to come out at prom, but Haven also had a jealous friend Paige, and she has video proof of Haven and Daisy. Now Daisy who has seen Haven's ghost lately has been spending time with Paige as apparently, Haven would want them to get to know each other.  As Daisy becomes more popular and starts to cling to her last remaining memories of Haven , will she lose herself in the process or will she realise it before she has sunk and in order to  move on she must reveal the truth of their relationship and herself to everyone who still clings to a ghost of a girl and show the world the Haven she knew.  I have to admit I did find the ending of this book sort of cliched as apparently even after death, Haven is still the hero and helping change people's lives for good.

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
