Review: Drama

What happens offstage is often a lot more interesting than what happens onstage. Especially with characters like Callie, a total go-gether. She likes Greg and instead of beating around the bush, she kisses him first. But life doesn't always give us what we want -- and now Greg is ignoring her, a new guy is in the picture (but won't go to the dance with her), the sale tickets are down, the crew is spiraling out of control.... the list goes on for poor Callie. 

I love the diversity in this book. Raina uses characters from multiple backgrounds and ethnicity: gay, straight, shy, overly confident. When you mix it with the teenage love complications you get an average high school experience. The graphics are detailed and harmonious. All in all, a pleasant read.

TOP FAVORITE BEACH BOOKS

When I was four -- to keep me quiet during a dinner party -- my uncle said I could eat in front of the TV.  I followed him into the living room where he set up a small table and clicked on the first channel he could find. Lucky me, I got to watch Jaws. 

Since that terrorising evening, I associate the beach with sharks. And till this day, I always bring something scary to read at the beach so it can keep me grounded and far from the ocean.

Review: Shadowlands

A mom lost to cancer, a dad that is barely present, a sister who can't see past her own nose, a lover who is her sister's ex-boyfriend -- Rory has a pretty messed up life. And to make matters worse, she becomes a serial killer's prey. 

Witness protection provides the family with an SUV and sends them off to an island (an upgrade from where they used to live) providing us with the perfect setting to meet hot, tanned, handsome teenage boys who can court our girls. 

Until Rory's visions begin, switching the genre from contemporary, to thriller, to romance, to sci-fi -- to  -- what exactly am I reading and what happened to the serial killer? Yes, the ending has a twist, but in order to conclude that way, Kate Brian was forced to throw the entire plot out the window. 

Prepare for the unexpected!
