The Year I Became Isabella Anders (Sunnyvale, #1)

Review: The Year I Became Isabella Anders - Book #1 Sunnyvale Series - Jessica Sorensen - September 2015
After my first read, today was a DNF, I decided to browse the kindle for something to read and came across this Jessica Sorensen book. It has been a long time since I read a Jessica Sorensen book and once I started reading this, I was hooked into the book and it reminded me of why I first fell in love with this author as I have loved everything by her that I had read so far.  The Year I Became Isabella Anders is a YA series and reminded me of the early edgy YA series like Breathe for Me by Rebecca Donovan. Isabella aka Isa is the odd one out in her family and they all seem to hate her with a passion. No matter what she does, she gets treated awful - like a Cinderella character. Isabella is being sent to hang out with her Grandmother Stephy - her Dad's mother over the summer. It should be a punishment but as her cousin, Indigo will be there as well, it gives her a break away and during this time she will discover a dark secret about herself. Also during her trip away, she has been getting some threats via an unknown number. Is it her sister Hannah out to get her and playing mind games or something more sinister? This trip also did wonders for Isabella Anders as when she arrives back in Sunnyvale, she feels more confident and ready to step out of her bubble with her new friends and neighbors Kai and Kyler.  As I loved this book so much, I read the second one straight after as The Year I Became Isabella Anders ends on a semi-cliffhanger and there is a good storyline that pops up that will make you want to hurry up and read book #2 like I did so that you can see the story develop further.  Needing a good YA coming of age/thriller then get reading The Year I Became Isabella Anders by Jessica Sorensen - Book #1 in the Sunnyvale 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...
