Review : Gone - Lisa McMann - 2010

Janie and Cabel's lives as Undercover cops are now in the open after the expose of the Teacher/Student sex scandal in Book #2 " Fade". Now in Book #3 , it's summer time and that means vacation. Janie has graduated and is spending her summer with Cabel and his older brother Charlie and his partner Melissa. All is going well besides the horrible nightmares Cabel seems to be having of Janie losing her sight and limbs , and imagining her as a rag-doll. During the week Janie receives frantic numerous calls from her BFF Carrie letting her know her mother is in hospital. Janie worried as her mother is a drunk rushes to the hospital to find out her mum is alright but her father , the one she has never known is dying from a brain tumor. Gone focuses on the storyline of Janie finding A) more information about dream-catchers from Miss Stubin and B) learning and discovering about the father she didn't know existed till a week ago. As Janie does a Nancy Drew/Veronica Mars with her undercover cop skills , she breaks into her dad's place and starts to discover what type of guy he was and soon she understands why her dad ran away , he too is a dream-catcher which makes dream-catching a hereditary gene.
Can Janie walk into her Dad's dreams to let him leave the world peacefully or is something blocking her from accessing his dreams ?.
In Gone , we find Janie slowly preparing for the future of heartaches and the pain and tragedy that may come upon her in future years due to the damn curse or gift of dream-catching.

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
