Review: Unearthly - Cynthia Hand

-



Today's review is one that I have been looking forward to reading as I had heard lots about and was lucky enough to get a copy from Netgalley - www.netgalley.com. As we are currently living in a world where supernatural creatures are ruling our genres and shelves , I make my way to reading about another favourite creature of mine - the Angels.


Unearthly (Unearthly - Trilogy)

Review: Unearthly - Cynthia Hand - January 2011

I had gone into this book with expectations as I had heard it was a good book , though I had my doubts as I did not enjoy as much the book Halo by Alexandra Adornetto. However, Unearthly was to prove me wrong as it wasn't just a good book but an awesome book, that had me hooked and I couldn't put it down literally speaking as I was up till 11.30pm- 12am reading it as I wanted to get it finished and find out what happened. I can say as a voracious reader , it takes an really amazing book to want me to not put it down and continue reading it straight through no matter what is happening around me or in this case the clock ticking and the alarm clock in my head going - you should be in bed by now, you have church in the morning.
Never fear though, I did stay up and finish it -all 444 pages of it.  In Unearthly , we learn about the different types of Angel-Bloods and that when they reach 16-17 they have a purpose in life which they are bought into serve. For Clara , her's is about a guy trapped in flames and she is supposed to save him. Her vision means that her mum and brother have to uproot to a smalltown called Jackson Hole , Wyoming from Sunny California. However as the story progresses we meet this mysterious guy who happens to be the School Hottie Christian, though somebody else has attracted Clara's attention - her new friend Wendy's twin brother Tucker. Can Clara keep her eye on her purpose or will the distraction of Tucker be too much to handle ? What happens though when Clara's world of angel knowledge is about to expand and she discovers not only is their a war going on between the White Wings and the Black Wings but that her family and her are not the only angel-blood in Jackson Hole.
Find out what will happen and to see whether Clara fulfills her purpose. Unearthly is book #1 in a trilogy and I cannot wait to read Book #2 as the only thing that disappointed me in Book #1 was the way they ended the novel.

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 - Penny Reid

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
