Wanting an Angel novel , one that features Good and Evil ? One of the best I have read in a long time ?
Review: A Beautiful Dark - A Beautiful Dark #1 -Jocelyn Davies - September 2011
Life for Skye has always been different , from becoming an Orphan when she was six years old and then the fact that her eyes are the silver that used to be used in mercury thermometers. When her friends go against her wishes on her seventeenth birthday and through her a surprise party , it seems that this will be the start of her troubles as she meets two guys at her party - Asher and Devin. One Dark Haired and the other Blonde. It seems that these two guys know all about Skye and things seem to be exploding all around her and it's not her imagination going into overdrive. What are they here for and what has it got to do with Skye ? When at a school Ski trip , Asher decides to tell a story about the Rebels and Guardians - Bad and Good Angels . The story hits Skye hard as her parents use to tell her the story as a bedtime tale . The story about a rebel angel falling in love with a Guardian and having a child that would connect to the two sides together bringing chaos to a natural order. It seems that the child born was Skye and now Asher - a Rebel and Devin - A Guardian are here to test Skye and her powers , Asher to collect her for their side and unfortunately Devin to kill her . What will happen though when both boys discover that they share love and feelings for Skye , can they continue their jobs or will all three of their safety nets be compromised ? What powers does Skye have and is her life as a normal teenager over for good and what really happened to her parents , how did they die ?
Find out all this and more in an amazing new Angels novel , one that is a must-read for all. I can't wait to see what else Jocelyn Davies brings next.

    The book was well paced and I could not put it down. It did not end how I thought it would, and to be honest, I didn¿t have an ending in mind, and that was wonderful. I often times skip to the end to see what happens, but with this book I wanted to be surprised.

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
