Summer Reading List
We Came. We Read. We Came Again. 
WE SURVIVED. BARELY. 
This year? Absolute chaos—in the best possible way.
We laughed. We cringed. We trauma-bonded over morally gray men with anger issues and magical d**ks. We said “just one more chapter” and looked up four hours later, emotionally wrecked, mascara on our pillows, questioning our

Kayla's review
of
Feast of the Fallen (Villains of Kassel #3):
"Nightmarish. Riveting. Heartbreaking. That's just a few words to explain this story and the reasons why it will grip you by the throat until you're done.
This book is full of villains because parallel to real life, there are far more of them than we'd" Read more of this review » |

Feast of the Fallen (Villains of Kassel #3):
"This is an incredible story. It is a story that will elicit all the emotions, anger, fear, disgust, trepidation, hope, admiration, caring and compassion. What Jack went through is horrific enough, but that his mother sold him beggars belief and yet w"

of
Feast of the Fallen (Villains of Kassel #3):
"A Jack and the Beanstalk retelling is absolutely a first for me and what a first it was. Be aware that it IS dark and even more so because despite being a fictional story, it is rooted in current events and atrocities that many of us are completely d"

shared a highlight from
The Holiday Clause
by
Lydia Michaels (Goodreads Author)
His eyes widened when she blew her nose, the sound more like a dying elephant. “Good God, woman, did you eat a French horn?”

“All of my life I’ve had one cardinal rule: the only person I can trust is myself. I’m the only person I can count on to truly look out for me without ulterior motives. That’s what I’m doing now, looking out. I don’t need your hotel. I don’t need your damn limo to give me a ride. And I don’t need you.” He stared at her, a blank expression on his face for a long moment. Finally, he whispered, “But I need you.”

― Coming Home
“And it will be a great boon to your friend. He’ll get the security he’s been searching for, the
confidence he never had, and I’ll get the rest of my life with you. Sometimes victory is won by
surrendering something great. And in surrender, we unburden ourselves so clarity can come through.
We’re all just men hiding behind curtains and impressive toys, Evelyn. He can have whatever trinket
validates his struggles, but he’ll never have your heart. That’s mine. I’ll surrender everything, except for you.”

“Grief was the counterpoint of love. The more a person loves something, the more painful sorrow became when that something disappeared. She loved Nash with every ounce of her being, so when he went away he took her entire soul with him." ~Lydia Michaels WAKE MY HEART (Jasper Falls 1)”

“The man could make stone malleable. Somehow he was changing her without fully breaking her. Perhaps that was how he obtained his power. Shatter the victims right from the start, so the slightest show of kindness felt like the greatest relief.”
