Review: Aftermath - Book #2 The Ripple Effect - Cally Jackson - December 2023

At the end of Book #1 The Ripple Effect which was an Australian time travel novel, that reminded me a bit of The Time Traveler's wife, we read as our main female Caitlyn decided to travel back and save the person she loved in the past, back in the 1980s. The thing though as since she saved him, she has caused a big ripple effect in her actual timeline as she is about to discover her life is completely different.  Her parents are divorced, her mum is alive, her sister Milly is older and her brother Brent is now Brett and younger. The thing though Caitlyn is happy for is that Toby back in the 80's is alive and well.  In the present time, Caitlyn ends up in the hospital as her parents are worried about her and believe she has amnesia - which in a way she does as every time she has come back after time traveling, her life is different. When Caitlyn has the chance to go back, she wonders what it would be like if she could stay in the past with Toby as she is what she wants and her life in the present has changed too much for her liking. When she finds a group of other time travelers and their tips, she starts preparing- but what happens when things go haywire and she ends up bringing the 1980s Toby into the present day - a world where he should realistically be 60 years old not in his mid-20s? Will this cause a giant ripple effect - one that will affect Caitlyn's life but those all around her, including fellow time traveler Julia? Aftermath was a great sequel to Cally Jackson's time travel novel The Ripple Effect.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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

  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

A Love Letter From Emily White - Author

A Love Letter from Emily White to her Readers: It's a month for love and there's nothing I love more about the publishing life than meeting new readers. That's why, a few months ago, I made a pretty huge announcement. I doubt it had any far-reaching effects. And I seriously doubt many people even heard about it. But I want everyone to know: After doing ALL the things and checking off ALL the lists, I never really felt like I'd accomplished anything in my career. I'd grown up dreaming about signing a contract with a publishing company, and I did that. But after that was done, I dreamt about the next contract, and having my books read around the world, and maybe hitting a bestseller list. And I did all that. But still not so much happiness. I had moments of happiness. Of absolute joy, even. And it hit me last November that those moments came when I was meeting new readers or getting emails from them. They came in certain minutes of the day when a
