Review: Firelight - Sophie Jordan

Looking for a new Teen fiction to read ? Something that holds the Supernatural World with our modern everyday existence ? Are you a fan of Dragons or as they are known in this book "Draki" ?
Review: Firelight - Sophie Jordan - September 2010
I've had Firelight on my TBR List for a wee while and I finally got around this weekend to reading it and I enjoyed it. I didn't really have a full idea what it was about but I did have some thoughts that it may be a supernatural type novel with a hint of a love story.
Firelight is the first in a series for teens written by Sophie Jordan and focuses mainly on Jacinda who is what is called a "draki" , they are dragons which have the power to morph into human form. Jacinda's father was a draki and her mother was one but turned her back on it as she didn't want to remain draki. Jacinda's twin sister Tamara also missed out on the draki genes and though half-draki, half-human she is completely mortal. Jacinda is the first fire-breather born into the draki family, she is the pride's joy. When Jacinda's mum discovers that they are planning on clipping Jaci's wings , she does what's best for the family. She moves them out to where no-one can find them and encourages Jacinda to help "kill" the draki inside of her. Jaci and Tamara start school and soon Jaci runs into Will - a draki hunter , he was the one who saved her in the prologue, yet he doesn't realise that she is draki and soon begins a forbidden romance as Jaci tries to hide her true identity. What will happen when Will and his family of hunters find out the truth about Jacinda and Tamara and her family and are they safe from the pride when the Alpha's son finds them ?
Find out in "Firelight" by Sophie Jordan and stay tuned for my review of "Vanish".

    When Jacinda manifested into her draki form in front of a group of hunters in order to save Will's life, she not only put herself in danger, but also exposed the most treasured secret of her kind. To keep she and her family safe, Jacinda must return to her pride with Cassian, the boy she is to be bonded to, leaving Will behind.

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 - 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
