Review: Ghost Town - Morganville Vampires #9 - Rachel Caine - 2010
Morganville , after you read Ghost Town will leave you wondering what is going to happen ? Is this the end of Morganville as we know it ? Has the time come for Vampires to run amok and humans be hunted and tortured ?
All Claire wanted was to spend some quality time alone at a drive-in movie theatre with her boyfriend Shane as most of the town was at a rave in another part of Morganville. However , her night ended badly and Claire ended up on trial for the murder of a vampire. All this with one little phone call from her friend Eve asking for help. Claire's punishment is now to fix and finish a machine that her boss Myrnin has been working on , the machine will be able to help protect those in Morganville , ensure that it is safe from outsiders. Once Claire gets the machine up and running though, something sparks and soon the machine is taking everybody back three years ago. To a time before Claire even discovered Morganville , a time where Morganville wasn't the safe town that it is today.  As the town starts to lose their current memories , Claire must figure out a way to pull the plug on the machine and it seems that Claire may very well be alone as nobody remembers her, not even her protector and town founder Amelie and boss Myrnin which may be a problem as she needs to get into his lab.
In Ghost Town , we will read as Claire pairs up with the least likely person - the only other person who wasn't here three years ago , the vampire Oliver.
Can the two put their human/vampire differences aside and work together to save their hometown of Morganville before the whole town disappears and Morganville turns into one of those ol' dusty and empty Ghost Towns on the map ?
Included in Ghost Town is an extra Short Story titled Worth Living For and it is a tale that slots nicely between the books Fade Out #7 and Kiss of Death #8

    Wow. The concept behind this book is amazing! I am always blown away when authors manage to build such complicated, inventive worlds...I tend to always love/write contemporary YA, so I build so much off of the real world. This book sounds amazing! Thanks for the review!

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
