My rating: 3 of 5 stars

 

3 Stars

 

I Will Bury You by Brandy Nacole is a YA thriller- a bit of a mystery with murder, family secrets, lies, discovery, crime and investigation, and drama.
The story has an interesting premise, and I couldn’t wait to dive in- but unfortunately the many editing issues really detracted from my enjoyment of the story (in my Verified Purchase Kindle copy- from Amazon Australia). With a little tweaking and attention, this story really could be stellar- but as it is, it fell short for me.
But, as the story is geared towards a younger audience, maybe they won’t see the issues, or have the same problems I have had reading this book.
I really did want to love this book and I am sorry that I didn’t.
Maybe next time.

Thank you, Brandy Nacole.

Wow!! I finished this book a couple days ago and needed to think about it a bit before I came to write this review. This is my first book by this author and I was more than pleasantly surprised. I have since checked out her other books and will absolutely be reading some of those. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, I went in blind so had no idea what I was in for. It would have been very simple to get really confused about what was happening but the way this author put it all together had me figuring it out quickly and made it very easy to follow. What I didn’t figure out was the ending… It came on quite quickly and had my mind all over the place thinking back to things that happened throughout the book. That was well played and even had me doing some googling when I finished LOL

I completely enjoyed every word of this book and can not wait to read more from this author.

I will bury you by Brandy Nacole is nothing short of brilliant.
The story draws you in and has you quickly turning the pages to see if your theories are correct. Many times I was reading, holding my breath in anticipation. The author masterfully weaves a thrilling story of discovery and deception through leaving cleverly placed breadcrumbs for the reader to connect together. Brandy Nacole is an amazing writer and I will definitely be checking out some of her other works.

Survival depends on embracing this nightmarish new existence and fighting my way to the dawn. This novel grabbed my attention just by that sentence alone. Surviving is always hard, but the way Brandy Nicole writes just makes you wonder even more. Nacole is an amazing talented author who gives the reader something a.little more in her novels. Let your imagination run with the characters in this gripping novel.

I really enjoyed the second half of this book, as the first half left me sort of confused and not liking how it jumped here and there.

Overall a good book, great storyline, and an ending that took me by surprise! I would read more from this author, their writing style is something I really liked.

In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety (The Cecily Taylor Series #2)In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In this second installment of the Cecily Taylor Series by Krysten Lindsay Hager, Cecily is enjoying many things; specifically, her burgeoning career as a model/actress, and her new relationship with her favorite singer, Andrew Holiday. All seems to be coming together for her, until she hits a rocky patch with her best friend, Lila. From there, things seem to go downhill and she comes across a picture of Andrew getting cozy with another girl. The characters remain well-written and relatable as both Andrew and Cecily deal with their insecurities and anxiety. This is a wonderfully put together story for young adults and touch on many topics that are relatable to them. It’s good, clean entertainment for young readers and, much like the first installment, I highly recommend In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety with 4 out of 5 stars.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

We are back with Cecily and her idol turned boyfriend Andrew and everything that goes with him being famous. Cecily is thrust into a world that she is not entirely prepared for and all manner of normal teenage angst-inducing moments are turned up to a thousand when so many people are watching.
This is a pretty solid follow-up to the first book, and while I will say that this series is not my cup of tea, I sort of wish I’d found something this well written when I was in my teens. I feel like it handles the angst and anxiety of being a teenager and trying desperately to find yourself, really well, and with a self-awareness that a lot of these stories tend to lack.
Hager again is a solid writer and though I wouldn’t say that this is something that actively choose to read I do think it is well written and will appeal to young adults.

In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety (The Cecily Taylor Series #2)In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cecily Taylor returns in this second installment of the series about her life and she is on top of the world, her dream crush Andrew Holiday is now her boyfriend, it is looking like a career in acting could be on the horizon and she has two best friends she tells everything to, well apart from that she has a boyfriend because they have agreed to keep things private at the moment. As the day dawns, Cecily is already up to say goodbye to Andrew which is a shock to those around her, she isn’t normally an early riser in the slightest, but she is already missing him, so when one of her best friends Lila comes over for a visit, she is more than happy about it. As they go shopping and talk about the things happening at school, Cecily gets the feeling that she is distracted by something and that feeling is increased when she doesn’t ask Cecily’s opinions about anything, then rushes out of the store and when they stop for a drink, she is constantly on her phone until a beaming smile appears on her face and she rushes to stop the afternoon and Cecily has a feeling it is because she is talking to her ex again, who treated her badly and that she is ditching her to spend time with him.

When she is unceremoniously dropped off home, Cecily goes up to her room, checks in with her other best friend and finally watches an old tv programme she enjoyed and when Andrew checks in with her, they end up watching it together, even though they aren’t next to each other. The next day she heads to school as if everything is normal again, but there is still a distance between her and Lila, even her other best friend notices and over the next few days it is a pattern which keeps repeating and Andrew is working hard so can’t talk to her as much as she would like, but when she does get to talk to him, it makes up for it and they start to confide in each other more and more. When Andrew gets a gap in his schedule he comes back home for a few days and introduces Cecily to a couple of his friends, but things are a bit weird and Cecily cannot understand why until she talks to Lila, on one of the days when she isn’t ditching her for her boyfriend, but amid all the anxiety, they talk it out and get back on good terms. Meanwhile, Andrew tells Cecily that someone in his management team has spoken to a magazine who saw her in his music video and want her to go to New York and model for them, but Cecily has to convince her parents that this is a good idea and she has no idea whether they will let her, however, they relent when her grandma agrees to go with her.

Cecily meets her grandma at the airport for their flights and the break starts off with a beautiful hotel, upmarket treats and a little bit of shopping, but when it becomes close to the time for the shoot, things start to go wrong, there is a protest and she is late, the staff are rude and this leads to a huge anxiety attack, however, despite it all, when she gets on set they are really impressed and she makes friends with the other models. Andrew is really proud, but also breaks the news that he has to go on a retreat with his brother, his brothers girlfriend and her sister, Cecily is nervous about it, but accepts that things like that are out of her control, however, when a photo of Andrew and the sister come out on social media, the way it looks sends Cecily on an anxiety trip like no other and she immediately fears the worst, but with Lila on another period of not talking to her and her other best friend busy, she struggles to handle it all. Will this be the first major hurdle to get over, or will the past repeat itself and be the end of her and Andrew’s fledgling relationship? This sweet romance whirls you along with Cecily as she deals with life, dating a star and everything which goes along with it, but also teaches you a lot about anxiety at the same time, well worth a read for anyone of any age.

Can Dreams Come True?
Cecily Taylor
Krysten Lindsay Hager
☆☆☆☆☆
This is a full length YA novel. A clean and safe story for those 12 and older. I highly recommend you buy both books together as you/your reader will want to go to book 2 as soon as they finish book 1.
Cecily takes a chance and goes with her friend to a video shoot. Mainly because the video has her favorite singer in it, and she is in hopes of seeing him. She wants to be an actress someday so this would be a great start. However her boyfriend becomes so jealous and does the unthinkable. Her best friend sees red, and gets totally mad. But with all stories this one says it as it is. What will happen between these 4 teens? How will Cecily survive the many avenues this adventure will take her?

Krysten Lindsay Hager writes this story from the mind of the teenagers. The story is fast paced and keeps you reading. I love that Cecily and Andrew totally get each other. The characters are true to the teenagers in high school, we have all been there. You will find this story will keep your teens reading, as well as yourself. I will most definitely recommend this story to all teens. Well Done Krysten Lindsay Hager! Well Done!

In the book “In Over Her Head” Hager resonates can resonate with every youth and adult in the world out there, if they allow her to. This book is extremely well written, and has many of the struggles that real world people would go through (perhaps minus the pop star glory). This stage of life, or any stage of life where there are friends, boyfriends or new jobs people can find themselves left behind and trying to fit in and Hager does a fabulous job of showing a teen trying to navigate the ropes of high school, secret romance and broken friendship all in one. I would recommend reading her other books if you have not.

This is book 2 in The Cecily Taylor Series. And it’s just as good as the first one. You definately need to read the first book to understand this book as it follows on from it. It’s written really well and covers most things a teenager goes through from friends moving on, to heartbreak and working out relationships.

In this book we are back with Cecily. She seems to have the life she always wanted. She has good friends, and the boyfriend of her dreams in singer Andrew Holiday. However things start to go wrong. Her friend starts to move away from her and spending more time with her boyfriend, she starts to suffer from anxiety from the pressure of her work and 1 photograph she sees changes her outlook on her perfect relationship.

Was her perfect relationship all in her head? Can she cope with all the pressure she has around her? How will she survive when she is faced with losing the 2 people that means the world to her?

This is the first book in The Cecily Taylor Series. I really enjoyed this book and it is a great read for YA. Its a story that reminds you what it’s like to be a teenager. The characters are easy to relate to and the story is full of teenage angst and first love romance.

Cecily  Taylor had always dreamed of becoming an actress and she gets her chance when her friend auditions and Cecily gets offered a place in the video.

The best part for Cecily at least is that it for her favourite singer ever. She has had a crush on Andrew Holiday for ages and now she has her chance to get to know him.

Cecily’s boyfriend Zach isn’t happy with all the time she is spending with Andrew and Cecily doesn’t understand why.
Can Zach keep his jealously in and keep his girl or will Andrew win the day and steal her away?

This is the second book in The Cecily Taylor series. I highly recommend reading book one to enhance this book. Krysten Lindsay Hager does an amazing job with her attention to detail. I felt like I was right there with Cecily the entire book. Her characters are complex and fully developed. In this book, Cecily thinks everything is going well for her. She has a best friend, a boyfriend, and a job. Things kinda get messed up for Cecily. She starts to lose her best friend. Her boyfriend is in a picture with another girl. Also, Cecily starts to have anxiety issues over a photoshoot at work. Everything is crashing down and Cecily does not know what to do. Will Cecily gain confidence and overcome these challenges? Or will Cecily lose it all? I highly recommend reading this story to see how Cecily handles everything.

In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety (Book Two of the Cecily Taylor Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager was a really good read! This book picks up right where the first one left off, so it definitely needs to be read in order. I really enjoyed the plotline and somewhat enjoyed the characters. I have the same issue I did with the first, that the characters acted very juvenile to me, and the stream of consciousness that Cecily the main character thinks makes me zone it sometimes. I love YA novels and this one was great, I just wish again that Cecily had more of a backbone when it comes to things. Overall this series is great and I have loved reading it!

This is the second book in the young adult series by this author. And I found it to be the perfect follow up from the previous book. I enjoyed reading this book as much as I did the first one. I am in love with these characters and their relationships because I find their story to be very relatable to life. Even life as an adult with the ups and downs of relationships. I have always found these young adult stories to be my favorite genre because they are good, clean fun books but the stories deal with anxiety, love, and drama. Not to mention there is always twists and turns along the way to keep me on the edge of my seat. I think that this is a perfect book, well series, for all female teens to read today. I think that they will find it relatable in many ways I think because they are pushed so hard by their family, friends and even their own selves to be better. However, sometimes all of that pushing is too much for them and what they really need is time to figure things out on their own to make their own decisions in life.

To be a Fae Queen (Realm Chronicles #1)To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To Be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland is a very interesting take on the faerie stories, though I was not expecting the story to be about a Titania and Oberon that were not THE Titania and Oberon that end up ruling over the Seelie court together. The pacing at times felt a bit awkward, there would be an event that would happen but would not get talked about and I would have to go back to see if they had even finished the event or if it was going to be continued later. Other than that, I did really enjoy the story of Titania coming into her own power and faith of herself as she deals with anxiety and having lost most of her family, it can be seen in a very inspiring way. It was also very fun to see it bring in witches and vampires into the storyline to bring those genres together. I do always enjoy watching characters go from one type of life and must adjust into another type of life very suddenly. This is recommended if you enjoy anything faerie related.

If you’re looking for something cute and relatively light, overall, this is a great choice. A few times, the book seems to move way too fast, and other times, it moves way too slowly, and some of the character relationships seem a little two-dimensional. However, overall, the main character has some interesting challenges she has to overcome. Though I did feel that I was somewhat “tossed into the world,” with very little explanation as to what was and wasn’t allowed to happen, you definitely pick it up fairly quickly. It’s a fun little adventure that I found myself captivated by, despite some of the things I thought I maybe didn’t like.

I was so excited to finally get the 2nd book in this series. I had to see where things were going for Cecily and Andrew. They have decided to give a relationship a try, but now he has to get back to work. Cecily is starting to have some anxiety about the distance between them. They have such a great connection between them, will they be able to make things work?

Of course there is a twist that will make Cecily question their relationship. In the middle of all this Cecily starts working on her modeling/acting career, being in the video got her some attention. The author does a great job with her writing and you feel like you’re right there with them. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story, I really love Gran. If you’re looking for a great read this is the series for you. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

To Be a Fae Queen is the first book in The Realm Chronicles by Tricia Copeland. This epic fantasy adventure is centered around a 15-year-old princess Titania, who is forced to take on the throne after the death of her three brothers. Her father trains her in weaponry, music, books and history making her a well-rounded capable woman. But, when the real calamity hits, he stonewalls his daughter and entrusts his army to trace the enemy. But when the army fails, Titania has to take the responsibility on herself to find this new enemy who is responsible of stealing something very valuable which belongs to her and her father.
This is a coming-of-age adventure princess story filled with action, mystery and danger. Titania is a very fiery heroine, though I did feel her character is a bit too mature for the age. The challenges she faces are grave and the obstacles many. The crown comes with a hefty price to pay. How Titania embraces all these challenges forms a very captivating plot and I am looking forward for more of her adventures in the coming books.

I am a Fantasy and YA book lover, but this is my first Fae novel… I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. I have to say that I was impressed. Tatiana is a great heroine, smart, fearless, brave, and compassionate. She knows her mind, and is unafraid to be stubborn and follow the paths her instincts tell her to be true. This book has all the markings of great YA lore: a gutsy hero, an adventure to save a kingdom, and many trials along the way for Tatiana to prove her worthiness, or die trying. She is a well-rounded character and as admirable as any in the face of battle. Her close compatriots are also very well crafted and diverse: Foster, her potential love interest; Kane, the loyal and smart general; Tatiana’s own father, the king, whom she admires and is often a confidante. I was very invested in the outcome, and impressed with the depiction of the magical world. Copeland is very skilled at drawing the reader in with her characters, beautiful word illustrations of Middle Earth, and lots of battles and tests to keep readers engaged. A good escape that I thoroughly enjoyed.

In Over Her Head: Lights, Camera, Anxiety is the 2nd book in the young adult Cecily Taylor series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. I really enjoyed the first book in this series and was looking forward to seeing what was in store next for Cecily and Andrew.
This is a really great young adult romance book, which is also suitable for older adults like myself who enjoy and good romance novel.
One thing I love so much about this series of books is the way that the subject of anxiety is so well dealt with. I, myself suffer from crippling anxiety and can relate so much to Andrew’s character but even more so to Cecily; always assuming the worst when you don’t get a reply to a text, seeing the worst in every situation. This totally resonates with me and I really hope that many young adults, those suffering from anxiety and also those who do not, would gain a great deal by reading this book. Not everything in life is rosy for everyone. Some people struggle to get from one day to the next and this book does a great job of dealing with this issue.
I also loved seeing Cecily start to bloom into a more confident version of herself, going out of her comfort zone at times to help achieve her dreams.
This is a great book which I would definitely recommend.

To be a Fae Queen by Tricia Copeland is not a typical read for me, and it took me a while to get into it; however, once I got in the groove, I loved it. The author has a way of making the reader invested in the characters and the world she’s created. This book is everything you could ever want to see in a Fantasy novel: faeries, monsters, magical places and sparkling characters. The book’s protagonist, a fairy princess named Titania, is faced with the duty of claiming the throne and becoming Queen in the land of her people. After hardships, loss, and many challenges, Titania must prove herself to be the rightful ruler. This is the first installment in the Realm Chronicles by Copeland, and I will be looking forward to the second. 4 out of 5 stars.
