18. Monster: Murderous clown

"absolutely not." danika groaned, looking at the woman who'd come up behind her. "can you fight? if not, i'd get the hell out of here before that thing becomes even more of a nightmare."

@tragcdysewn: ✈ — [davina] and [kol] share a picnic in a park

kol leaned back a bit, the grape in hand. "i'm telling you i can get it from here." he said while aiming for his wife's mouth. "just keep your mouth open." he said with a wink before he tossed the fruit in her direction.

  Internet Famous Danika Stone Published by: Swoon Reads Publication date: June 6th 2017 Genres: Contemporary, Young Adult

Can an online romance survive in real life?

Internet sensation Madison Nakama has it all! Her pop-culture rewatch site has a massive following, and fans across the world wait on her every post and tweet. Even Madi’s dismal romantic life seems ready to take off as Laurent, a fellow geek (and unfairly HOT French exchange student!) starts flirting with her in the comments section of her blog. But Laurent’s not the only one watching for Madi’s replies.

Internet fame has a price, and their online romance sparks the unwanted attention of a troll. When Madi’s “real life” hits a rough patch, she feels her whole world crumbling. With Laurent’s support, can Madi rally her friends across the globe to beat the troll, or will he succeed in driving her away from everything―and everyone―she loves?

Huge thanks to Danika Stone, Swoon Reads, Xpresso Book Tours, and Netgalley for sending a free digital galley of this title my way in exchange for an honest review! This in no way altered my read of or opinions on this book.

Let me start by saying: I ADOOOOORED SARAH! I felt she was so super well-written, and tactfully complex. I really, really loved seeing this character in a read like this! While she’s not the main character and this isn’t HER story, she’s so integral to the events and the journey, I feel this might have been a different read without her in it. I am so stoked that Danika Stone wrote her, and wrote her so gorgeously–HUGE penguin flappers to her!

  There are so many important and true to life messages found within this book, though the biggest remains internet bullying. I feel that Danika Stone set out with a goal in mind–and managed to reach that goal while still retaining the poise and tact surrounding sensitive subjects that I’ve come to expect in my favorite reads. There are a LOT of things said in this book, penguins–and the fact that the “bully” wasn’t, in the end, who I was expecting–like, at all!–only helped to emphasize some of the biggest messages. I was especially impressed in how Danika Stone brought home “trolling”–and the ways it touches everybody, not just the victim.

I was, honestly, just a little disappointed in a few of the relationships. The mom, I felt, was severely lacking in several ways–while I understand that situations like this DO happen, and that even parents have the right to follow their dreams…her interactions with her family felt very fake and surface-only. I didn’t feel as if she was really putting HER best foot forward with them, I suppose–even while she expected them to do just that for her. It felt a bit fake, overall, and I’m not real sure why she was even included except to 1.) complicate the family dynamic; and 2.) give a boiling point to Sarah’s struggles, which then lead to Madi’s struggles. I guess what I’m saying is, she was a catalyst–and while I know this happens in real life, I wasn’t real impressed with it here.

  In the end, though, this was a super entertaining, cutesy, snarky read–and I adored it! I really really loved the inclusion of Sarah, and the other characters (save the mom) were genuine and well-rounded. While a few of the relationships felt a bit flat and contrived, I had a ton of fun following Madi and the various characters on their journey, and cannot WAIT to see what Danika Stone will do next! I definitely recommend this to lovers of contemporary fiction, catalyst characters, and realistically dropped #truthbombs. Watch your #hashtags, Penguins– #fandom is on the loose in this read!

@mcrcki asked: ☃ — [LOUISE] and [DANIKA] attempt to make a snowman together

admittedly, danika had only done this once in her life, before her training really set in, but it was kind of fun. "is this right?" she asked the other, setting a large ball of snow on top of an even larger one with a small grin.

closed starter for steve rogers!! ( @rcvcrics )

spotting the familiar face across the room, danika makes her way over. a small smile crosses her features as she moves to greet the other. "hey, steve. are you having a good time?" he seemed more used to these sorts of things than she was, at least.

[tragcdysewn]

the eyes on her were sensed incredibly quickly, her back tensing as she scans the shop for whoever might be looking so intently at her. finally, her gaze lands on an unfamiliar girl, and she looks her up and down, keeping her distance as she speaks. "can i help you with something?"

danika barnes | @tragcdysewn

when rebecca had decided to go get a coffee at the nearby cafe, she hadn't thought anything of it. that it'd be a quick stop and she'd be on her way. yet as soon as she had turned to walk out, coffee in hand, she hesitated as her eyes fell on somewhat familiar looking person, yet she could still have sworn they'd never met. yet they still looked oddly familiar and she couldn't help but stare, trying to figure out why. there was something that just fell off about the other and yet she could have sworn it was just another stranger.

closed starter for bucky barnes!! ( @wvsteria )

"i've never been to one of these before, but i have to admit, it's prettier than i thought." she's still on edge, scanning the masked faces around her, but it's not as bad as she'd expected.

4. A dead end leads to an open coffin in the ground. In order to progress at least one character must get in and close the lid.

danika stares at the coffin in front of them, before her gaze flicks back to her brother. "you're shitting me, right?" the clone asks, glaring at the wooden box entombed in the dirt of the maze. "please tell me we don't have to get in that thing."

[tragcdysewn]

closed starter for bucky barnes!! ( @wvsteria )

she knew that face, how could she not? it was near identical to her own, and she'd been looking for the person behind it for years. she was absolutely positive this was him, but she wasn't going to just approach him and drop everything on him out of nowhere, especially given the, admittedly valid, risk that this was another clone, one that hadn't been modified at all. "excuse me? are you bucky?"

[tragcdysewn]

"oh, same. i think once when i was maybe five." but at least she wasn't alone in that, she'd thought it might be a weird thing to confess. "definitely pretty cute."

"ummm honestly i am going off of all of those cartoon pictures since i've never really done this-- but it looks right to me." lou responded, moving to help guide the ball of snow on top of the other. "it's kinda cute though, right?"

[tragcdysewn]

"you want a drink?" danika grinned, leaning over the bar and cleaning out the glass in her hands as she waits for the other to reply.

[tragcdysewn]

closed starter for steve rogers!! ( @rcquicm )

the others face was vaguely familiar, and it takes her a moment to place who, exactly, the man is. she debates for a second if she should approach him, but decides that it can't hurt. if nothing else, maybe he would know where bucky is. "you're captain rogers, aren't you?"

[tragcdysewn]

@mcrcki asked: and why would I indulge your idle curiosity? - danika and omega

"you don't have to, i just thought we might be in similar situations." she'd only overheard a brief hint of the conversation, but it was enough for her to approach the other.

[tragcdysewn]

"excuse me?" she stared at the other, one eyebrow raising at the other's sudden outburst. "what family members?" she asked, because there is no way in hell she's falling for some trick if someone is actually looking for her here.

"Are you fuc- is that a genetic thing?" They grumbled, having received pretty much the exact same response from Bucky. "Rebecca Barnes. Call me Rikki. Consider my curiosity borne from a strong sense of resemblance to a few family members." Not a lie.

[tragcdysewn]

"only if this story ends with steve actually remembering, rather than him being about to press charges." she replies tightly, raising one eyebrow. so maybe she's the paranoid one of them, sue her.

really there was no answer as to why he had punched steve. only that he was frustrated not getting to make him remember. "would it make you feel better if i said i did it because i thought it would make him remember?" he asked.

[tragcdysewn]

"are you sure? because 'alive' and 'okay' are two different things." the clone replied, shrugging her shoulders as she looks her brother over curiously.

he nodded his head, clearing his throat. danika was safe. rikki was safe. emme was safe. the people he cared for were still here. "i'm fine." there was no reason for him to not be.
