Wanting a tale of sea creatures and mermaids ?

Review: Black Waters - Maija Barnett -May 2011
Are you a fan of the water ? Love novels about Mermaids and Sirens ? Their flowing tales and their abilities to turn into mermaids once they hit water and then on dry land be like you and me. For Abby, growing up was never easy but at least when she had her Dad around - she had somebody that understood her, knew about the mermaids and their way of life, the nessecity to be near water . Though, the past six months has been hard on Abby as her dad has passed and her mum who insists on being called Matilda and her older brother Jake don't really understand as neither of them carry the mermaid gene or in Abby's case she views it as a curse. One night when swimming, she senses something is wrong and finds a dead girl - panicking , she hides her in a cave and changes on dry land but little does she know that she is being watched by the Chief of Police's stepson Brian . The next day at school, Brian reveals to Abby that he knows what she is and he saw everything . Can Abby trust Brian to keep her secret ? What will happen though on the eve of Abby's sixteenth birthday when she recieves a present from her father - a box that was passed on from his grandmother . The box holds a connection to Abby's past and it is revealed that she is in fact a siren and the last of her kind and that she is in danger. As the murderer is running wild , killing teenage girls - is the murder a connection to Abby and her siren abilities ? Can Abby be the only one to stop the killer with the help of her grandmother's advice in her dreams ?
Find out all this and more in a great sea tale that all who love mythology and mermaids will enjoy, Black waters is the perfect YA/Teen read for all Water Lovers and those who love the element of mystery and suspense.

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
