Review: The Ripple Effect - Book #1 Ripple Effect - Cally Jackson - September 2023

I had seen this one earlier on Instagram and it sounded really good and up my alley, as I do enjoy the odd time-traveling read. The Ripple Effect was set in Australia too, just across the ditch from me in New Zealand and some of the places I had heard of, so I felt a bit of a stronger connection to the story. In this book, Caitlyn has just turned 21 years old, and unfortunately, most of the women in her family on her father's side when they turn 21 end up for a short period as time travelers. Caitlyn now has found herself traveling back to 1983, forty years before she was born. She doesn't know what's happening and the only person she can talk to is her grandmother who is now suffering from dementia. Her grandmother remembers some of her trips and tells Cailtlyn some rules as she will find even the minor changes back then will cause effects in her today's life including new friends, old friends disappearing, etc. In 1983, Caitlyn meets her next-door neighbor Toby and she falls for him and vice versa, but what happens when she starts to develop feelings for him and she knows she can't stay? In 2023, Caitlyn decides to look up and see what happened to Toby only to learn he died. Can Caitlyn go back and save him? What will happen though in her "real world" if she saves Toby? Will the Ripple Effect be too major? Just like her grandmother and her own experience with her traveling? Find out in this amazing fast-paced time travel romance and I am now excited to read Book #2 Aftermath.

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
