Review: Sing Me to Sleep - Book #1 Sing Me to Sleep - Gabi Burton - June 2023

When I was in my 20s, I was big into fantasy with a world of Vampires and Werewolves and the odd other supernatural creature tale. Then as I got older like with most genres and storylines, after reading them over and over again, I felt like it became the same story just another set of characters and I started to find my interest waned and I couldn't get into fantasy books. They were just long-winded and boring. That is until this month, I have read two YA fantasy books and both have been amazing reads and I feel like potentially my interest has been reignited. In Sing Me to Sleep by Gabi Burton, which was also the YA book from the book box subscription - The Book Shoppe, I opened it and I was surprised at how easily I was sucked into the book I didn't want to put it down so now I am excited to read Book #2. Sing Me to Sleep by Gabi Burton also reminded me of the Girls of Paper and Fire series by Natasha Ngan. In this book we meet our Siren Saoirse, she is the last of her kind and was adopted by a family of fae and misfits as her sister is human. Basically in this world, any creature that is not Fae is frowned upon and Sirens and Humans are the worse. Humans do the servant work, but Sirens are seen as the Devil as years ago the King's son was killed by a Siren, and in retaliation, the King wiped out all sirens and burned their area to the ground. When Saoirse's sister is threatened, she gets a job in the Kingdom to find out who is blackmailing her family and protect those she loves. In doing so, she will also learn the dark history of the Kingdom and of course, fall in love with Prince Hayes. When Saoirse's identity is revealed, can she prove she isn't a threat or will the Kingdom come for her head? Find out in Sing Me to Sleep by Gabi Burton, a great YA read and if you want a taste of fantasy - this one is a good stepping stone into the Fantasy world.

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...
