Wanting a new teen series to begin ? Into Witches and Magic ?

Wayward: The Witch Wars Saga (Volume 1)
Review: Wayward - Ashley Girardi- May 2011
Are you in the mood for a witchy read ? I have to say at first as far as covers go , this would have to be one of the most creepiest covers Ive seen in a long time with the coloured eyes staring in the grey background. In terms of supernatural and magic, Ive never really been into magicians of sorts but for some reason witches have always fascinated me , maybe it's because of the Salem Trials that Witches have this pretense of appearing more real to us all rather than Vampires which you mainly hear in legends. In Wayward , we meet Helena aka Hex which I thought was such an appropiate name as Hex's are like curses and it seems that Hex hasn't had the best of luck as we discover that she was born into one of the most magical families around and she happened to be born or so it seems with no magical powers. However, as we discover that Hex and her friend West like motorbike racing in their spare times for extra cash, that a demon/evil spirit is nearing as Hex smells the sulphuric aftertaste - could smell a bit like Rotorua which due to the geothermal stuff smells like rotten eggs LOL :). As the novel continues on we discover that Hex didn't really miss out on the powers and that she has some pretty dark magic living inside of her and if she doesn't learn to control it , people and herself included may end up dead. When tragedy strikes , Hex finds herself in the middle of a rivarly between magic families , Can Hex learn to control her powers or will she be left with the hard choice to save herself or her soul ?
Find out more in the introduction to this wonderful new magical saga "The Witch Wars" by Ashley Girardi.

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...
