Review: Always Be Mine - Book #9 Sweetbriar Cove - Melody Grace - March 2019 One of the things I love when I read Melody Grace's books is the crossing over of characters, a lot like Abbi Glines does with her series. Having crossovers makes the reader more invested I find in the series as when you read the books you are reunited with old friends, and you smile as your mind flashbacks to the book you read with that particular character in it. The other thing I love is that though it is a series, you can read the books as standalones. In Always Be Mine, we meet Lila Moore who is hiding out from Hollywood after she left her political fiance at the altar. For her, she realized it wasn't true love, the tabloids, on the other hand, painted her as an evil heartbreaker and poor Justin. Lila has been busy hiding out in the small town of Sweetbriar Cove where she had once been before with Dash and Blake Callahan - from the Callahan series. While hiding out at R...

Review: The Good Egg - Book #3 Lumberjanes Chapter Books - Mariko Tamaki/Brooklyn Allen - October 2018 It's time for Lumberjanes as I bring you the last chapter book in the Lumberjanes series, I did find it nice reading a chapter book for a change about their adventures rather than a graphic novel as the favorite thing about the books is that throughout the book it gives you a detailed list of some of the awesome badges that were mentioned in the story. In The Good Egg, Ripley is feeling a little lost without their friend Castor and the team spirit of the Lumberjanes is lacking morale. They need another challenge, something exciting. Therefore Rosie has invited on a former theatrical Lumberjane, and the cabins are being mixed up and have to perform a fairytale, but they also have to change the story up a bit. None of this boring original crap. While this is happening Ripley on one of her journeys found a nest of golden eggs and she nicknamed the baby egg Eg...

Review: The Line Between - Tosca Lee - January 2019 One of my favourite topics to read about in fiction is about cults as I always find the idea of them quite fascinating, especially with those who have spent so many years in the real world, how easy it is for them to shed what they know and accept a new way of life in order to fit in somewhere in the world. When Wynter was a little girl, her mother moved their family to a cult called New Earth. Once settled in, the family found it hard to dissociate from the outside world especially Wynter who spent a lot of time in Pentinence. Over the years, her mother got sick and passed away, and the girls became orphans of the church. As the years went on their cult leader's original wife, Kestrel passed, and Magnus took on a new wife - Wynter's older sister Jacqui. The pair eventually had a daughter called Truly. As time passes and Truly gets older, and Jacqui focused her time on her daughter Magnus's inte...
