Who remembers the Book Review I did on Insight - Book #1 in the series by Jamie Magee - The review can be found @ http://thephantomparagrapher.blogspot.com/2011/04/vbt-insight-jamie-magee.html
Today's VBT# is Book #2 - Embody by Jamie Magee

Embody ( A Young Adult Paranormal Romance) (Insight Series)
Review: Embody - Book #2 Insight Series - Jamie Magee -April 2011
In Book #2 Embody where read as Willow is trying to come to terms with who she is and her family origins and trying to get a hang of her gift, the past year for Willow was tough with the discovering of who she is and then the whole ordeal with Drake and then the love of her life Landon getting hurt. Now with Drake disappearing, Willow and Landon are in hiding as they learn to control their gifts of spirtual mind control- the gift of talking to each other through their minds. You know how when you are children, you are always asked what kind of superpower you want ? One of mine was telepathy , being a bit like a Sookie Stackhouse :) from True Blood.
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speakmore eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief…and unspeakable love.” ~ Washington Irving.
As the novel continues we read as Willow and Landen learn more about themselves and each other – including deep-seated powers they never knew they had – Willow and Landen continue to strengthen their spiritual bond in the face of one unforeseen challenge after another. While it remains to be seen whether or not their union will endure, one thing is for certain: nothing can trump the undying love and devotion they feel for one another, even as they find themselves worlds – and bodies – apart. It does seem a recurring theme in the Insight Series at the moment, that no matter what is chucked towards Willow and Landen's way, they have always managed to stay together and their love for each other is strong.
As always, Im looking forward to the next installment of the Insight Series that Jamie Magee brings to the world of teen/ YA fiction.

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...
