#Seen (#NorthStar #1)

Review : #Seen - Book #1 NorthStar - Freedom Series - Taylor Hart - August 2019



Lately, I've been finding books hard to get into as my mind has just been distracted and I have been finding things so blah and needing books with a bit of a kick. #Seen gives us that as it is the first book in a series called NorthStar. North Star as we learn is an organization that helps save children/teens from bad situations. The book starts with Zoey who found herself in a bad situation as she ends up kidnapped and sold to a pimp. Zoey ends up being one of the lucky ones rescued and returned to her family. The guy who brought Zoey home, Cyrus aims to save children from that exact situation that Zoey was in. We learn his daughter Marcella was kidnapped and we assume sold into human trafficking.  In #Seen we jump over to the local high school where we meet Sammy. Sammy had it all, a great boyfriend, friends and on her way to becoming cheer captain - that is until in a blink of an eye it is gone. Feeling alienated, she turns to chat to a guy on her phone and he seems to be the only one who gets her. Enter Zoey and Nicholas who try to save Sammy from the same fate as Zoey as it is discovered that the guy Sammy has been talking to is part of a well-known trafficking ring and if Sammy isn't careful, she may find herself in the same position Zoey was in the beginning. Reading this book, made me realize how easy it is to fall into this trap and how thankful that nothing like this happened to me years ago chatting in chat rooms online and texting strangers was a normal thing to do and I look back now and realize how open I was to strangers and sharing and to be honest I didn't know who was really on the other end of the line. I am now looking forward to reading the rest of this series and I hope we get a chance to see Cyrus reunited with his daughter Marcella.

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...
