Emma's Secret (Finding Emma, #2)

Review: Emma's Secret - Book #2 Finding Emma Series - Steena Holmes - June 2013


If you ever watched or read the movie/book The Face on the Milk Carton or watched the TV series Finding Carter or even read Angie Stanton's Don't Call Me Greta and enjoyed them all, then you will love the Finding Emma Series by Steena Holmes which takes on a similar storyline, the only difference is that unlike the others returned when teenagers - Emma is returned when she is only 5 years old after being kidnapped two years earlier. Dottie was slowly losing her memory and was convinced that Emma was their granddaughter, a second chance after their daughter Mary took a life of drugs and alcohol.  Jack went along with it being none the wiser. That was until the truth unraveled and it turned out that Emma belonged to another family. Now Emma is back with her original family but of course, she misses her Papa Jack as the two had a special relationship. Megan should be happy all her family is back together but she is struggling and I have to admit I hated Megan's character as she came across as selfish and all about her. This reminded me of the mum in Finding Carter when Carter was returned as she was a bit like this too. I did love the relationship Emma had with her real dad Peter and the fact that he understood her to need to still have Jack in her life and of course Jack's need to have Emma in order to have something to live for.  This is the perfect series for those who love stories of abduction and children returning to their biological families. Mystery with a hint of Family Saga and memories.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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
