In Your Dreams (In Your Dreams #1) by Amy Martin

A great story. I enjoyed the teenage emotions that are written in so well. Kieran's troubles are just beginning. Zip (Zara) feels the friendship forming from the start. Little does she know what the Lanier's weird behaviour is hiding. I love how Kayla and Zip's friendship starts rocky, but develops into a mutual love and protection of Kieran. Adventure, romance, mystery, twists and turns around every corner. A fantastic YA novel that I would recommend.

As You Wake (In Your Dreams #2) by Amy Martin

I enjoyed the second instalment, how everyone tied in together. How Morgan has become part of the family. The unexpected addition towards the end, is he stalking them? When they thought their problems were over? Loved the explanations and the twists and turns. The continued relationship between Kieran and Zip is lovely and the talk between Zip and her parents was inspiring and something that I need to remember for when my kids reach this point in their lives.

Before You Sleep (In Your Dreams #3) by Amy Martin

Fantastic third novel in the series. The relationship between Kieren and Zip only gets stronger. Cooper goes through with the treatment against recommendation. But he comes out of it with only a temporary amnesia. Kieren is not convinced he wants to risk losing everything to cure his condition. But after much convincing Zip thinks she has convinced him. How heartbreaking is it to get everything you want only to lose it all the following day! I am really looking forward to reading more and discovering if Kieren regains his memories. Will life ever be the same?

A story of friends spending their childhood together as the best of friends. Something happens to one of them to change the path their lives are to take.

Sam moves away and gets married and is living an unhappy marriage. Holly falls to the drugs after being a perfect child most of her life. This is a great story of friendship despite the challenges and the ultimate revenge. I really enjoyed this novel. It took me awhile to get my head into the jumping around in time however. Past to present and back again. I was gifted this book from the author in exchange for an honest and fair review

The Blue Nowhere by Jeffery Deaver

A great psychological crime novel. Twists and turns keep you guessing right to the end. It's scary to think that this could easily be or become reality. Big brother is watching. But could it get you killed. A computer game spilling into the real world. My first novel by Jeffrey Deaver. I look forward to reading more of his novels.

Torn Between Two Worlds (Guardians #1) by Lexi Ostrow

I loved the storyline. Something totally different to what I have read before. Stryker is a hot demon/ guardian who word speaker Ciara chooses after she splits from her long time boyfriend and her guardian at the same time. She is not happy to see him in the beginning. But all that changes. I would not recommend it for anyone under 18. Extremely graphic sex scenes. (Hot stuff) are a little repetitive at times, but get the heart racing all the same. There are a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. But still worth a read. 4 stars from me :)

Timebound (The Chronos Files #1) by Rysa Walker

Great read. Kate is surprised at what her estranged grandmother has to tell her. But she listens all about CHRONOS and learns what she can do. Will she be able to change things to save the world as she knows it? I found it a little hard to get into when I first started this novel, however it had me hooked before long. Wanting to know what happens around every corner. A little romance a little suspense are enough to leave me wanting more. Looking forward to part 2.

An Heiress for His Empire (Ruthless Russians #1) by Lucy Monroe

Great storyline. Easy read.

Benton - Jolie du Pre

An ok read, Due to the sex scenes in it I wouldn't give it to my 13 year old son to read, but it would be something he would enjoy. Maybe 15/16 year old boys/girls would be a great target audience. A quick fun read about zombies and learning to survive in a world where they are taking over.

Letters To Sam: a grandfather's letters to his grandson on love, loss and the gifts of life - Daniel Gottlieb

This was a inspiring read, a grandfather who is learning to live with disability and the trials that go along with it shares his insights with his grandson who is born austistic. There is many things in this book that we can all learn from. A beautiful read

Otherkin Nina Berry

Great novel for young adults. Des has no idea about her past, Until the shift she has no idea she is a shifter, When she meets a cute boy who is in a cage, her life changes drastically, Will she be the one to bring the Otherkin world together to live in harmony? Easy read and highly recommended for YA readers.

The Fallen Star - Jessica Sorensen

A great novel, I can't wait to read more. I love the characters in this novel, the all have strong personalities and they work well together in the plot. Discovering their stories is enjoying although I would love to read a spin off about Laylen. Imagine having no emotions all your life and then suddenly you wake up one day and get flooded with emotion that you now need to learn to live with. When Alex comes into her life things really get difficult, the electricity between them can not be denied, even though they both try. The world as she knows it is going to change and not for the better.
