Fight for It (Sunset Cove)Fight for It by Amy L. Gale
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a story about finding yourself again, but I felt like it could’ve been more in depth. It was a quick read with what could’ve been a great story to tell.
Ray moves back to his hometown to start over and his best friends sister, Alyssa, comes back into his life.

Alyssa’s life has been tragic, with the death of her brother and being in an abusive relationship, but her brothers best friend, Ray, the boy who has always had her heart, makes her see that she can start over.

Ray is a hometown hero. He left to become a boxer. An injury threatens to end his career so he “retires” and heads back home to buy the local eatery they all grew up at. And finds Alyssa in the process.
Will they both get a fresh start or will they stay in the past?

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Scott survived and now he sees ghosts. Normally, he is bothered by them and gets aggravated but not “Zelda”, a ghost who showed up with no memory of who she is and what has happened to her. Can Scott help her so she can move on, or is there something more to this story? As he tries to help her, feelings evolve, as well as, the truth and who she is. I normally don’t read a paranormal stories, but this one was very intriguing and had me captivated from page one.
