Book Tag: July Wrap Up

Hi everyone!!
Can you believe it is already August?! Where has the time gone? How was your July in books?
July was crazy, with being in a reading slump, going to the zoo, then going on vacation with a toddler... I hadn't had as much time to read as I wanted. August I have a ton of arcs that I signed up for, plus need to get stuff ready for my daughter to start school among a few other things so we will see how my reading goes for August! But I read a total of 12 books this month- four of which were in a box set- bringing my total reading challenge up to 60 books out of the 20 I set for my goal! Yay! My high goal is for a 100 books, and I am well on my way towards it!

The stone gargoyles are creepy. But at night? They come alive! Without any explanation- she has to face the fact that magic is real. And starring at her in the form of four hot fanged winged men. Throw in the fact that Ace is now in danger and has powers? She better believe, and quick if she's going to save herself, and her city and break an ancient but powerful curse.

I was so in love with this title and blurb right from the moment I laid eyes on it, and just had to read it for myself!

Madison was in love with her best friend Theo for as long as she could remember. She's always wanted more from him. He was the Golden boy on campus, the star football player, and exactly who her parents would want her to end up with.

But then she met Easton. He was Theo's frat brother, older, and the teacher's assistant in Madison's English class- so very off limits. But knowing that does nothing to stop her from falling.

But, now that she noticed Easton, Theo began to notice her, leaving Madison torn between the two. Theo, her best friend, the guy her parents would approve of- the safe choice. Or Easton, the one she couldn't get off her mind, the one off limits, the one who made her feel alive for the first time, and the one who her parents would definitely not approve of, possibly risking it all. Both guys were as different as night was from day, but both had a piece of Madison's heart- but she could only choose one. Will Madison choose the Wrong Prince Charming? 4⭐ out of 5⭐ Review

I don't even know where to begin with this book- but I definitely needed it. It is book 3 in the Thorne Hill series and YES you do need to read book 1 & 2 first.

This book follows Callie- who is a powerful witch - immediately after the events of book 2, of Callie being accused of Treason, and being threatened by vampire bounty hunters. It seems both sides are trying to stop Lucas & Callie's relationship- it's against both vampire and witch law for vampires and witches to be friends- let alone date. Witches and Vampires have been sworn enemies for thousands of years. Their forbidden romance can lead to death- but isn't the only threat lurking near by. Callie realizes not everything- including her very existance- is what it seems. 5⭐ out of 5⭐ Review
