Review: Replication - Jill Williamson

It's amazing I think as the years go by , that the term Christian Fiction can now stream into so many different sub-genres and angles , it is now not all the holy,holy novels but novels that still have a christian or religious input and still are clean cut but are not Preach down to me novels.
Review: Replication - Jill Williamson - December 2011
When I first read about this novel , I was excited as I love novels about Genetics and Modification but then when I discovered that Zondervan were publishing it , I was intrigued as to what the novel would be about and how captivating it would turn out to be.
In Replication , we meet a series of people who have been genetically made and are called the Jasons . They have been bred and taught that they are saving Mankind from the toxic air that breathes outside in "our world" . Replication follows one of the Jasons 3:33 aka Martyr , as a Jason they are to live till their eighteenth birthday and then they expire and die . To them , it is what God has made their purpose to be. When a new doctor arrives, Mr Goyer - Martyr starts to feel a connection with the doctor and vice versa , Marytr's one wish besides hoping someone to look after Baby and Hummer when he is gone is to see the "real sky" . When Abby Goyer decides to investigate and discover what her father's job really is , she is surprised to discover genetic modification etc going on and soon Abby comes face to face with Martyr and for a Jason , Martyr and Abby really hit it off. It seems that Martyr is involved in an experiment titled "The Jason Experiment".  As the reality of the Jason Experiment comes to light, Martyr is caught between two futures---the one for which he was produced and the one Abby believes God created him to have. Time is running out, and Martyr must decide if a life with Abby is worth leaving everything he's ever known.
An interesting story about two different people who have lead two very different lives both discovering that God does have a purpose for everyone of us and that sometimes in order for the individual to discover their purpose , we all need a little boost from a friend to point us in the right direction.

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
