Angeletic Girl Book 1 Review

Angeletic Girl Book 1

By J. Barfield

Every Super Hero has their origin.

This is the story of how a girl goes from being an ordinary, bubbly, slightly goofy high school student to being the stalker of the night, crime fighting, totally boss Super Hero and worst nightmare to any and all criminals, evil doers and villains of the world.

MY REVIEW

Angela and Dee Dee were twins but they were nothing alike. Angela was a neat, rainbows and sunshine kind of person, whereas Dee Dee leaned toward gothic and messy. Angela’s friends were cheerleaders and Dee Dee’s friends were bullies. One day the girls, along with their mother were carjacked by a gang of thugs. Dee Dee sees the leader, Snake’s face, and later with the help of her two large buddies, is able to track him down. Seizing the opportunity, Dee Dee talks to his ‘boss’ and proposes she take over Snake’s spot. But does she really know what she is getting herself into?

I can see where this story is going, with the Super Hero/Villain aspect. And I can see where this book one is setting that up, but I just couldn’t resonate with the characters. Maybe it just wasn’t enough story to get a feel for them, since it was very short. In reality, this just wouldn’t happen, but I assume this was written as a preteen read, along with the superhero aspect, making it work. I think if the story had been longer it could have given the characters more persona. Otherwise it was a fun read to share.

Helen Book Review

Helen

By J. Barfield

Helen is a story about a young lady who has her mind turned up side down when she discovers that her childhood imaginary friend was actually a real person. 

Fighting to maintain her sanity she goes in search for answers and clues about who her imaginary friend really was but the more she finds out about her the more confused she becomes. And every time she thinks she's got it figured out something else comes along leaving her with even more questions. 

Helen is Sci-Fi, mystery, comedy, slightly dramatic adventure ride inside of not only the main character's life and mind but everybody around her exploring how they interact and how they're all connected to each other in this strange, mysterious thing called life.

MY REVIEW OF Helen

When Jullisa was younger, she had an imaginary friend named Helen. No one but Jullisa ever saw her. Then during a busy holiday excursion at the mall, Jullisa loses sight of Helen, never to see her again. Twenty years later, going through some old drawings, Jullisa is reminded of her. When she later sees an obituary for Helen, she investigates and finds out that Helen was a real, live person. And things start getting weirder when she discovers that Helen once had an imaginary friend called, what else, Jullisa.

Talk about drama, this story had it. The premise that two people, unknown to each other, was each other’s imaginary friend certainly made for an interesting read. The characters were well-developed, with likeable personalities. The plot was just spooky enough to make you wonder what if, and how that could happen. The more I read, the more I wanted to read. I have to say though, that I did not understand anything about the dream in the interview with the rock star, nor why it was included in the story. It went too far off topic, and I was confused as to why it was there. I think the story would have been better without it.
