Review - The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott

The Unwritten Rule by Elizabeth Scott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is one book that had me thinking long after I was finished reading it. It is so true, and I wished more people could live and understand this unwritten rule, it would truly make life so much easier.



Sarah has always liked Ryan, though she'd never admit it to her best friend Brianna. Brianna is the popular girl that gets all the boys' attention. When that attention comes from Ryan, Sarah uses all of her strength to be happy for her. Now that's a true best friend.



As the story moves on we find that it wasn't Brianna that Ryan was truly after. In Sarah's shyness and awkwardness with boys, she missed her chance. Can that one moment be regained?



Risking losing her best friend, Sarah can't deny her feelings towards Ryan any longer. The problem here is that Ryan was never really Brianna's to begin with. If one best friend can't tell that the other likes a boy, then I think that is just plain self absorption. She never really was a friend to begin.



Scott did an amazing job with this title. I read it in one sitting, anxious to find out what happened next. It so took me back in the day, though I understood this unwritten rule from kindergarten lol. It was a great read, and I'm glad I had the chance to read it. You will be too and I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys YA with a touch of romance.

Review - Divergent by Veronica Roth

Divergent by Veronica Roth

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Divergent was definitely a wonderful and exciting dystopian with so much originality that I am so anxious to read the next book, which I pre-ordered :).



Beatrice lives in a society where factions rule. You live in one of four ways and that is it. When it comes time for you to cross into adulthood, it is up to you which faction you will choose to be in for the rest of your life.



She lives with her mother, father and brother. Her father is certain both children will choose the faction they grew up in. When both choose completely different factions, ones that none of them dreamed of, both children are only scratching the surface.



A war is brewing. An overturn of government is on the horizon. The question is, will Beatrice, now Tris, be able to get to the bottom of who's behind all the chaos before she ends up...dead?



Tris learns how to be a part of her faction, becoming fond of her leader and trainer, Four. As the relationship grows, so does the suspense. With surprising twists and turns, this title literally had me on the edge of my seat. This is one book that will have you thinking months after you've finished reading it. Roth did a phenomenal job, I just can't get enough. Highly recommended!

***** 1/2 Review of L.A. Bytes by P.A. Brown

L.A. Bytes is another fabulous read by P.A. Brown! Well researched and phenomenally written! You won't be able to put it down!

When Chris gets called in to find who's been hacking into a Ste. Anne's Medical Center, he ends up finding more than a bunch of codes on a computer. As he digs further, threats start coming in via email to hurt his husband, David.

In the meantime, David is at the Doctors office for an allergy shot. Chris, who happens to be in the same hospital, arrives to assist David and give moral support, as David hates needles. After suffering an allergic reaction to the allergy shot, Chris is determined more than ever to find out what happened, especially since he will have access to the hospitals mainframe due to his new contract to find the hacker.

David is forced to take time off of a murder case he is currently working on much to his dismay. A few days in the hospital, he is still encouraged to rest upon arriving home.

David is not one to leave work behind though. Against his partners, and Chris's pleas to stay in bed, David forges on to solve his latest murder case.

As Chris and David fight to solve their cases, they don't realize when they end up helping each other to solve these crimes.

Brown did a stupendous job with this fourth installment to the L.A. series. Exactly what you would expect from Brown, giving suspense and thrills from beginning to end.

I give L.A. Bytes ******1/2 (5.5) Stars, BK Walker, Author of "Near Suicide" and "Dares And Dreams". http://bkwalkerbooks.weebly.com

Two years later, Gem shows up on his doorstep, tired, skinny, and with a baby in her arms. Jake doesn't doubt the baby is his and is flooded with feelings he still has for Gem.
