Review: The Second Life of Ava Rivers - Faith Gardner - August 2018

Twelve years ago when Ava and Vera were six years old, they went out trick or treating on Halloween. Their older brother Elliot who was 12 at the time should have been looking after them but instead, he went off and did his own thing. That night, only one of the twins Vera returned home safely. Ava was gone forever and the case rocked their small town then as time went by and no new leads the case became national news. Now at 18, Vera is excited to be heading to Seattle to go to college and live her life the way she wants it to be. No more people looking at her with sad eyes and knowing that she is the other half of Ava or the twin nobody wanted to steal. This is one of my favourite tropes to read and watch as it reminded me of the MTV show Finding Carter - as she was a twin as well that was stolen and then years later reunited with her family.  In the present time, at 18 - Vera's family receives shocking news, a young girl matching Ava's age and description has turned up in the hospital. Her family rush and it's a happy reunion, but where has she been for the past 12 years as life gets back on track and Vera's family is finally happy - their world will be rocked again when Ava's DNA test reveals something they weren't expecting. Can Vera say goodbye to the sister she missed out on or has Ava's family received a second chance in the new "Ava Rivers"? Find out in this amazing thriller and family saga The Second Life of Ava Rivers which has now got me watching the pilot episode of Finding Carter again. Another amazing book, if you love this storyline to check out, is "Don't Call Me Greta" by Angie Stanton and "Who is Sarah Randall?" by Gail Harris.

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...
