Delinquent (Academy of Misfits book 1)
By Bea Paige

I’m the kid your parents warned you about…

Eighteen months in prison or doing time at Oceanside Academy.
Reform school has met its match in me, even if it is full of young offenders. Thieves, graffiti writers, drug runners and other petty criminals reside within the walls, and I'm just like them.
But what they didn't tell me was that I'd be one of only a handful of girls in a hoard full of boys. It'll take more than just street smarts to keep my wits about me.
Everyone here has a chip on their shoulders, and I'm no different. Mine's one of the biggest, that's why they call me Asia because I have one as large as a continent.
Rules or not, these bad boys are about to discover I've earned my label for reason...
I'm the biggest misfit of them all.



Not the usual school/academy I’m used to reading for this one has no actual magic! But I have to say I really enjoyed the set up, the story and the characters! Growing up in a broken home is not easy and I think Bea captur these kids well! Those stick in a situation they can’t control or get out of!

I read this wonderful book, not having read the book that comes before it: ‘The Last Days of Rabbit Hayes’. This didn’t spoil my reading enjoyment at all though, and stood on its own perfectly well. Saying that, I have now bought Rabbit Hayes - mainly because I don’t want to let go of the wonderful characters in this book just yet!

This is the story of how Rabbits family and best friend cope after her death. It’s the story about their grief, their loss and how they go about getting on with their lives in the aftermath.

I can’t even tell you how often this book made me cry, but I can say that I laughed in equal measure. The author has created these highly likeable, realistic characters, and it’s so easy to empathise with them.

I just loved it. I was an absolute mess whilst reading it (thank god for reading during the summer holidays!), but I loved it. Oh, and when I grow up, I want to be just like Molly Hayes. That woman is the mistress of the one liner and rules in the art of foul language. As my son would say: #goals.
I would highly recommend this book.
Thank you to The Pigeonhole for serialising this, and to Anna McPartlin for joining in!

Pieces of You is the first book in the Missing Pieces series and, let me tell you, N.R. Walker does not pull any punches here. No sirree. This is a gentle book with only remembered steam which, once you read it, makes perfect sense. It is an emotional book. I think I read most of it with a lump in my throat but whenever Justin said something or couldn't remember Dallas, it grew a little bit larger!

The writing is smooth and the contemporary setting all too believable. The supporting characters provide a bit of light relief whilst providing a back-up system to Dallas. There is not a single superfluous scene or character in this book. Everyone and everything has been placed for a reason.

This is the first book in the series so you only get a HFN ending. It finishes on a bright, hopeful note though so that's something. Who knows what the future holds for Dallas and Justin. It won't be easy no matter what but I seriously can't wait to continue their fabulous story. Highly recommended by me.
