Desires of the Dead (Body Finder)
Review: Desires of the Dead- Book #2: The Body Finder Series- Kimberly Derting- March 2011
I'm still not entirely convinced of what the flowers on the front cover means as I am in two minds about the Blue flower on the first book as the main girl's name is Violet and we all know the saying "Violets are Blue". In Book #2 we read as Violet is still being haunted by nightmares of the incident in the first novel where we witnessed Violet's best friend Jay almost getting killed and shot if it hadn't been for Violet's Police Chief uncle Stephen. Now ready for a new year at school and ready to move from the past , Violet starts school with Jay as her boyfriend. However, things around Violet are about to get stranger and they have something to do with the two new students Mike and Megan Russo. On a shopping trip to Seattle with her friend Chelsea ,it is the first instance in the book where we see Violet using her "echo" to find a dead body- sadly a body of a 4yr old boy. This situation however, has caused attention towards Violet and now she is being followed by the FBI. Do they think she is involved or have they discovered her gift ?
While thinking about the FBI, Violet has other problems on her plate as she has earnt herself a stalker and if she isn't careful , she may find herself wound up dead in the middle of nowhere?
What is it the Dead desire , Find out in "Desires of the Dead" by Kimberly Derting and I look forward to reading hopefully more about Violet or books by Kimberly as her other novel "The Pledge" looks like a good read.

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...
