Review: Wish - Episode #4 New Hope Academy Series - Scarlett Haven - March 2016 Wish brings us the final book in the New Hope Academy series and picks up where Fame left us with Kat and Damon being kidnapped and held in a basement. During this time Kat gets to meet Salvador who is Rafe's son and also discovers her brother's friend and childhood crush is also a traitor working for the bad guys. Is there anyone who isn't working as a double agent as we discover the truth about Kat's father and brother Dmitri. During Wish, we mainly have the story from Tristan's POV as he searches for Kat. Can Tristan save the girl he loves or has he taught her well enough that she can fight for herself? Also in Wish, we get to see a bit more glimpse of Kat's cousin Jade, and as the book finished, we see Jade asking Kat for help to find her father. I loved this part as I do love biological parent searching books and it does open the doorway to a pos...

Review: Fame - Episode #3 New Hope Academy Series - Scarlett Haven - February 2016 With Kazimir dead all should be back to normal except it isn't as Kat has finally confessed to both Tristan and Damon that the guy she loves is, in fact, Tristan, not Damon. Kat's older brother Alik has arrived in the States and popped by New Hope Academy to see Kat and let her know that their mum has left her dad. The thing is though that this isn't a good thing and means only one thing - their mother has been kidnapped or found out that she is working for the other side. Now the pair of them will pool their resources along with Kat's dad to try and find her mother. One of Damon's bodyguard also looks like he is a double agent - will this put Damon and Kat in more danger? We discovered that Tristan attended the Spy School in Switzerland which made me smile as I loved Scarlett Haven's The Spy Chronicles which feature the school and has now made me ...

  Review: Luck - Episode #2 - New Hope Academy - Scarlett Haven - January 2016 Kat is slowly getting used to life in America and turning out to be the daughter of a Russian Terrorist. At the end of Book #1, she was tracked down by Kazmir. Kat is also getting used to the idea that she finally has a boyfriend with Damon - the President's son. What happens though when the pair of them realize that danger is around every corner and that being in their shoes and living a normal life is out of the question. I have to admit , I don't actually like the character of Damon as it's like he knows he is hot and being the President's kid - he wants Kat and thinks he is entitled to have her and it's like he doesn't care about the dangers that are going on whereas Kat is more concerned about the kidnapping and the discovery of who her parents are.   I hope that Kat and Tristan fall in love eventually as I love his character and we do see a bit of roman...
