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.

Review: Foul Line - Book #2 The Ballers of Rockport High - E.M Moore - August 2019 One good thing about being on annual leave from work is that I can get more reading done, normally I would be reading more than I have this week but I've been busy also binge-watching my Criminal Minds in order to catch up to the new season. So during this week,   I am still sitting at a book a day. What it does mean though is I can catch up by clearing my devices as I have the time to browse longer.  At the end of Book #1 in this series, we saw Tessa being left humiliated when the crowd chucked panties on the basketball court. At the start of Book #2, we read as Tessa is preparing for the one place where she can finally get some basketball practice in and the world of Rockport High's hierarchy isn't as important. We also read as her mother is seriously thinking of moving her to Spring Hill which is where the next series that E.M Moore has written is set. Tessa's dream though won't h...

Review: Cowboy Villain Damsel Duel - Ginger Scott - January 2020 With this book, I wasn't sure what to expect but with the tagline, Riverdale meets Inception and the title sounding like clique identities and the number #1 fact that it was written by Ginger Scott, I knew it would be a book that I would read as soon as I could. I have to admit it was mind-blowing and as you read the book without giving too much away it was very much less Riverdale to myself and a WHOLE lot Inception with the whole dream within a dream within a dream feel to the book. I do have to admit in parts I was confused as we don't until the latter part of the novel get to know the character's real names - they are labeled Cowboy, Damsel and Villain in their alternate dream worlds and in their everyday high school lives they are the popular jock Quarterback leading the school to victory, the Class President and all-rounder working her way to make sure she gets Valedictorian and then the burnout who spe...

Title: Paine Series: Rosewood High #2 Author: Tracy Lorraine Genre: YA/NA High School Bully Romance Cover Photo: Michelle Lancaster Model: Lochie Carey Release Date: February 20, 2020 Blurb She was my best friend. The person I told my deepest secrets to. But when my world came crashing down, it was all because of her family. From that moment, I realized I’d been wrong to trust her. Her big caring eyes and sweet face were nothing but an act as she’d watched on while I tried to keep my head above water. That was our past. Now, I’ve largely put Camila behind me and moved on with my life. Though it doesn’t explain why she’s always there: taunting me, tempting me, showing me the life I could have been living. I should have been laughing when her own world turned upside down. Karma always wins out in the end. But suddenly we’re forced together once again and I have no choice but to remember the girl I’ve tried so hard to forget. ADD TO GOODREADS Pre-order Links AMAZON US / UK / CA / AU Al...
