Read & Review #2: Anchor for the Soul by @chrylblssom Fandom: Teen Wolf OC: Maxine Taylor

Synopsis: After Maxine Taylor loses one of the most important people in her life, her world is shaken. A cloud of mystery begins to form over Maxi's once simple Beacon Hills life as she tries to regain control of her life. She finds herself becoming closer to a boy with hazel eyes and secrets, which just shakes up her world a little more than already before.

This story is an oldie but goodie. Lynz and I come from the same “generation” when the TW fics first started rolling out and I remember being genuinely relieved to finally have a story to read that not only had an OC that wasn’t perfect by many standards but also had a huge family background. In a way, there are more important OC’s than some of the mains that come up in the plot which is a breath of fresh air in a time where some people will stack up characters as decoration.

Maxi’s struggles are also very real. Dealing with loss and trying to take care of her family while dealing with all these new supernatural things, a relationship and still managing to get by in high school would sink anyone’s attitude but she’s a fighter. She never let’s the darkness win and in my mind, that’s a hero. When things get tough and you question yourself but STILL keep going, that’s the kind of stories I want to read.

If you’re looking for a strong female lead who has genuine connections with not only your favorite characters but also original ones you’ll walk away feeling attached too then this is a perfect read for you.

Read & Review #3: Nerve by @susiesamurai Fandom: Marvel OC: Poppy Patel

Synopsis: She was blunt. He was honest. She was precise. He was impulsive. Poppy Patel and Captain Steve Rogers appeared to be very different on the outside, but deep down they were more similar than they thought. One day they'll share a kiss, but before that they shared many arguments, for she was cocky, and he was sweet, and admitting that you needed someone takes an awful lot of nerve.

I haven’t read a ton of Marvel stories especially ones that are Cap-centric (I’m a Bucky girl) so this was a brand spanking new change of pace for me. I was quite pleased with the pacing and the history that was establish from the moment the story began. You could tell there was a rapport with Poppy and the team purely based on how Poppy carried herself. I’m always a fan of stories that can make relationships seamless to the plot that’s already been created and not just a OC being added to the mix. She’s got depth and being inside her head is a real mystery when it comes to her backstory which I’m excited to discover as I continue the journey.

It’s also beautifully written. I’ve never been able to write a story in 3rd person and when I come across one that flows so naturally, I just have to comment on it. The descriptions, the gravitational pull from scene to scene is just so perfectly orchestrated, it was hard to stop reading long enough to even write reviews. You have the gift of a traveler writer. For me that’s a writer who can truly get you lost on a journey with a character because of how flawless the shifts are in the writing.

If you’re looking for a story that picks up after Steve wakes up in a world he doesn’t know with a woman he’s never quite experienced in his lifetime, this is the one you want to read. The OC is independent and versatile in her actions, and it makes for an interesting combination with America’s sweetheart superhero.

What's your favorite book you've ever read? I know, hard to decide but if you had to what would it be?

Oooh I don’t know about ever read. But of the books I’ve so far read this year ones I can recommend are:

The Rose Code by Kate Quinn

As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, three friends-turned-enemies are reunited by a mysterious encrypted letter—the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an asylum.

Beartown (The Scandal) by Fredrik Backman

Late one evening towards the end of March, a teenager picked up a double-barrelled shotgun, walked into the forest, put the gun to someone else's forehead and pulled the trigger. This is the story of how we got there. Beartown is a small town in a large Swedish forest. For most of the year it is under a thick blanket of snow, experiencing the kind of cold and dark that brings people closer together - or pulls them apart. Its isolation means that Beartown has been slowly shrinking with each passing year. But now the town is on the verge of an astonishing revival. Everyone can feel the excitement. Change is in the air and a bright new future is just around the corner. Until the day it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act. It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk the future to see justice done. At last, it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear. With the town's future at stake, no one can stand by or stay silent. Everyone is on one side or the other.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer's, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
