Book Review: The Last Princess - Galaxy Craze
The Last Princess by Galaxy Craze
Review Copy: ARC from Publisher
Available now!!
What a great debut novel by Galaxy Craze. And by the way, how awesome is that name? Love it!!
This novel takes place in Great Britain in the year 2090. A revolution is brewing against the monarchy but the Windsor children, Mary, Eliza and young Jamie have been kept in the dark about that. However, all that changes in an instant when their father is killed and Mary and Jamie are abducted. Eliza escapes and makes a hard decision, to join the turdor army in order to get closer to the enemy and hopefully find her siblings. What she doesn't count on is getting closer to another soldier, but is he friend or foe? And how long can her charade last? Those questions and more are answered in this consuming novel.
I found Eliza to be a force to be reconned with: she's headstrong, smart, compassionate and very easy to root for. Her journey isn't an easy one and while the pace of this novel is very fast, it wasn't fast enough for me. I couldn't reach the end quick enough! This book is filled with lots of action and adventure, a little romance, and definitely some intrigue. I recommend this first in a trilogy to fans of The Hunger Games as well as anyone looking for a quick, fun read!

Book Review: Ditched
Ditched : A Love Story by Robin Mellom
Ditched is an extremely fun read that I enjoyed for what it was: quick and light! The book begins the day after prom with Justine jumping out of a car and walking to the nearest gas station. Once there, she has no money and no cell phone so she begins talking to the cashier and piecing together the events from the night before. You see, she went to prom with her best friend Ian and she just knew that the evening was going to include a kiss and hopefully more. After all, all the signs had been there. But the evening didn't turn out exactly how she had planned and as we relive the wild events from the night before through Justine's colored lens, we begin to figure things out before she does. Overall, a fun contemporary read with lots of humor and hijinks - just in time for prom season!
