Review: The Fandom - Anna Day - January 2018
Imagine your favorite book? Now imagine if you got stuck in it and the only way to get out was to pretend to be one of the characters? Now imagine if you knew the only way the book would finish is if you died? Would you still go along with it? Violet, Alice, and Katie along with Violet's brother Nate are dressing up for Comic-Con as characters out of a popular book and movie "The Gallows Dance" as the two main actors/actresses who play main characters Rose and Willow are going to be at Comic-Con. While at Comic-Con, there is an accident and the four of them wake up in the Colosseum and discover that they are part of The Gallows Dance world and worst of all - they have just gotten the main character Rose who was supposed to be the heroine in the story and who saves the day killed. Now Violet must rise to the challenge and take the lead of the story she knows so well so that her friends and herself can return to the 'real world". The thing is though that they have to be careful as they don't want to get themselves killed in this world as it may have repercussions in their actual reality. Friendships will be tested in this book as some of them start to fall in love with the characters and think that maybe life here wouldn't be too bad. I found this quite a fun read as it got me as the reader thinking about what would happen if I was to get stuck in the world of some of my favorite books. I did also find it funny when they mentioned in here that all the heroes of Dystopian novels have funny names - Gale, Four, Peeta and now Willow and Ash.
If you love Fantasy, Fan Fiction and Fandoms then Anna Day's Debut novel "The Fandom" is the read for you and one book you won't be able to put down and will leave you wondering "Could You Survive "The Gallow's Dance"?

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
