Review: Wish - Book #1 Wish Series - Morgan Rice -February 2023

As I have started to join in the last year of Bookstagram groups and raffles and the world of wishlists, it has seen me adding new books to my list and new titles that interested me but I possibly wouldn't have brought myself. I do have to admit this past year has opened my eyes to trying new authors as well.  Morgan Rice's Wish series caught my attention as it sounded like something up my alley. More so, the books aren't too long either which makes good reading time in terms of reading the book in one sitting. Reading Wish transported me back to the year 2007-2008, the year Vampire fiction was just arriving on the market. The year I first read Twilight and other series like Morganville Vampires, Vampire Beach, Vampire Kisses, and Vampire Diaries - you get the idea. A world for me before the Twilight fandom exploded and Vampires were suddenly the "in thing". If Morgan Rice had written her series back then, it would have been possibly more popular than it is now.  Reading this book for me was refreshing as I felt like I was sucked back into the early worlds of students discovering their abilities, not knowing what Vampires or Werewolves were. Wish is the first of 8 books and where we first meet Taylor Night who believes she has been sent to a wilderness camp for misfits, the truth is that it is a school for those who are showing signs of being a little "different". After her Dad died, she found herself shipped off here and now she believes she is going crazy. Can Taylor handle what she learns and will it give her the answers to her past about her Dad and sister Jane? I am now excited to continue this series and as I am reading it, I can also envision it being a TV show. Wish is a great first book in this series and an amazing Indie find especially if you consider yourself a Team Edward or Team Jacob girl over Team Harry and Team Hermione.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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

  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

A Love Letter From Emily White - Author

A Love Letter from Emily White to her Readers: It's a month for love and there's nothing I love more about the publishing life than meeting new readers. That's why, a few months ago, I made a pretty huge announcement. I doubt it had any far-reaching effects. And I seriously doubt many people even heard about it. But I want everyone to know: After doing ALL the things and checking off ALL the lists, I never really felt like I'd accomplished anything in my career. I'd grown up dreaming about signing a contract with a publishing company, and I did that. But after that was done, I dreamt about the next contract, and having my books read around the world, and maybe hitting a bestseller list. And I did all that. But still not so much happiness. I had moments of happiness. Of absolute joy, even. And it hit me last November that those moments came when I was meeting new readers or getting emails from them. They came in certain minutes of the day when a
