Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent

3.5

I liked this. A lot. I think Carissa has such unique ideas and storylines. I now need to read the Crowns of Nyaxia world again.

Bad Summer People by Emma Rosenblum

2.0

Boooo
I was bored. Too much drama that was ridiculous …out of touch.

A Deal with the Elf King by Elise Kova

2.0

Entertaining but predictable, but I think that’s what it was meant to be. A good beach read.

Diavola by Jennifer Marie Thorne

4.75

This was as close to 5 stars as a book can get without being a 5 star. I love the entire story —plot, characters , setting—but I just couldn’t picture the house in my head like I wanted to . I have to look up fan art. But very good and can’t wait to check out more from this author!

Magic: A History by Chris Gosden
Did not finish book. Stopped at 1%.

Soft DNF for now—it’s summer and I want to read junk.

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

Pick back up in October?

Crucible of Faith: The Ancient Revolution That Made Our Modern Religious World by Philip Jenkins
Did not finish book. Stopped at 3%.

May come back to, but going to beach and won’t be taking this bad boy.

Kill for Me, Kill for You by Steve Cavanagh

2.5

Ehhhhh —I mean, thrillers have to have everything tie up into a neat little bow at the end, right? I enjoyed this story to a point but I wasn’t on the edge of my seat. 

Where You End by Abbott Kahler

4.0

Am I biased because this takes place where I live and the author is from Norristown? Perhaps. But- this was a delicious read. Twisty, dark, and ominous, just the way a thriller should be. I loved being inside both Kat and Jude’s heads, and the author’s tone was perfect for this type of story. I’m excited to see the author’s other Fiction works.

Rooted: Life at the Crossroads of Science, Nature, and Spirit by Lyanda Lynn Haupt

2.0

Though I did highlight some lines, if this were an audiobook, I would have listened to it at 2x speed after chapter 1.
