Review: Wish - Book #1 Indigo Dreams - Grier Cooper - December 2014

One of the topics that I have always loved reading and watching is dance especially Ballet as it is something that I wish I could have done or had the ability at least to try. For Indigo Stevens, Ballet is the only thing that she has that is hers and she is amazing at it , the thing is though she has to learn to compartmentalise her life otherwise her personal life will fall into her ballet world and she may end up losing both. When Indigo is on the dance floor, her whole life drifts away and she is at peace. At home is another story as her mother is always losing her cool and soon her mother's drinking and erratic behaviour starts to become a big problem which causes Indigo to get distracted from her ballet lessons. What will happen though when a guy is chucked into the mix and as she falls for him , he also becomes a distraction from Ballet. Can she let Jesse be the one to ruin everything she has ever worked for ? The only thing that can help her escape the life she is living or will he understand completely when it comes to the decison making time for Indigo ?
Wish is a novel of growing and coming of age, it is also a novel of family dramas and secrets and that sometimes the life we live behind closed doors isn't always sunshine and rainbows and that not everybody outside can see on the inside . It is a novel about letting people in and sometimes going the extra mile and asking for help and hurting the ones you love is the only option some have in order to get better.
 I really enjoyed "Wish" as a few of the topics raised in this book reasonated with personal experiences of my own. I am looking forward to reading Book #2 in the future.

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
