Mercy Point

Review: Mercy Point - Anna Snoekstra - June 2018


Years ago, the town had a mining tragedy that killed a lot of the townspeople and marks a point most people wish to forget as everyone lost someone that they loved in the accident. This book starts with Emma wanting to talk to her parents but can't find the words and so she turns to her online group where she can chat about everything and anything and feels so close to her online friends as they all have one thing in common - they were adopted.  In the group, we have Emma - Miss Know-It-All, Fabian - the bullied, Michael - Bully, Tessie- the tall weirdo, and then Sam - the mysterious stranger. When the group decides to meet, imagine their surprise that the people they have shared their inner thoughts with are the ones they also hate the most. As the book goes along, Sam decides to get them to work together as he has come so far for them to stop now, and since he is the outlier of the group it works. When the group finally decides to work together as they all want to know where they came from, they will learn that their parents are hiding dark secrets and it all seems to be connected to the mining tragedy that happened in the town. This book took an interesting twist near the end when they choose to discover the closed mines and one, I didn't see coming. Mercy Point is not only a great YA thriller but also has an added Science Fiction twist to the story, that reminded me a bit of the films The Host and I am Number Four.

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
