I cannot believe we're already over halfway through the year and in AUGUST! Absolutely bonkers to me, this year (especially this summer) is just flying by. These are all the books I read in July with some of my thoughts. It was definitely a slower month for me but I enjoyed most of the books I did end up reading!

Fate of the Five by Niamh Rose
The Gryphon King by Sara Omer
Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas
The Lure of their Graves by Laura R. Samotin (4/5 stars) This is the sequel to The Sins on their Bones and it did not disappoint! This duology has become one of my favourites to recommend because of it's intriguing / atmospheric setting, the top tier character work, and the mental health representation. I love how it focuses on a main character finding themselves again after a mentally / emotionally / physically abusive marriage. I felt so deeply for Dimitri and everything he was going through with his ex-husband, and how draining that is on your mind and your body. I loved the support system he had as well, you can tell that his friends truly cared about him and his well being. I highly recommend this series but look up trigger warning first!
