Review: Fashion Jungle - Rachel Van Dyken and Kathy Ireland




Fashion Jungle

Review: Fashion Jungle - Kathy Ireland and Rachel Van Dyken - January 2020
Danica, Everlee, Zoe, and Brittany were the best of friends, the four of them first met when they were fourteen years old and moved to New York all with dreams of becoming somebody in the fashion world. The girls lived together in a cramped apartment, the ones who didn't make it was sent home but the ones who had the strength persevered. As the girls got older, they got wiser and found a new manager who loved them as if they were his own children. Danica and Everlee stayed within the modeling world, Zoe a fashion designer and Brittany wrote for a fashion magazine. They still made time each week to catch up and all was going well until the girls discovered their friend Danica dead and hiding secrets. The book then jumps to her funeral where the girls are faced with Dan coming back into their lives, he was Danica's twin brother and someone like Danica kept secrets for blackmail purposes. He could destroy people with the knowledge he has. His goal is to find out who killed Danica and why was she hiding? Over the year he spends more and more time with the girls who it seems have reached their end of what they can take and with each having secrets of their own, how much more can they keep appearances. Everlee is pregnant and yet her husband now seems more interested in the new models, Brittany was in love with Ronan and fell pregnant but gave up her child for adoption secretly and Zoe had a stalker whom she killed and managed to frame with help - his brother Aaron. The one person who knows all their secrets though is Dan - will he let the girls live in peace or is it time to cash in those favors for keeping their secrets contained? Fashion Jungle was a good read and reminded me of a dark version of Sex and the City with the underbelly of the Fashion World.

Song and Sky. Fate and Future all align. On my seventeenth birthday, I finally heard Fate’s voice. He whispered to me again and again, insisting I find the Omen of Stones. Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise. Being surrounded by fellow witches worked my magic up into a powerful swell that crashed and churned within me. As the energy crackled through my veins, I shunned my royal duties to follow the call of my heart. Venturing beyond the safety of the Kingdom’s borders, I felt Fate nudging me toward a destiny I was eager to claim. Confidence in my craft blinded me from the ominous clouds of danger that roiled on the horizon. Captured by purists de...

The Vicious Deep

The Vicious Deep written by Zoraida Cordova I haven't read any other mermaid YA novels, although I hear there's a relatively new-ish trend towards the mermaid trope.  After reading this one, I'm really not sure I want to seek out any more mermaid books.  I tried to be open-minded and read the whole book, but really, though, this was not a good book for me.  Just in terms of the writing style, basic sentence variation goes a long way to counter awkward writing.  It's something I personally struggle with, but then, I'm not looking to be a published writer either.  Beyond that though, the story itself...Tristan is the obnoxious popular kid you can't stand at school.  He's full of himself, you can't relate to him, despite his role as the main character , he's shallow, sexist, unlikable...the list of adjectives goes on.  He's a caricature of hotheaded teenage arrogance.  Guys, the sentence "I'm not rippling with the muscles of the other bros,...
