Connie N. | 694 comments Hi ☘KathyD☘,

I don't want to pick the same books as last month, so I'm going with A Beautiful Mess (Beautiful Mess, #1) by T.K. Leigh , which sounds really good.

For the bonus, I've listened to The Inn at Eagle Point (Chesapeake Shores, #1) by Sherryl Woods in audio. This first book isn't my favorite, but the series just keeps getting better.

Thank you

I did ask for a bonus, I asked from the above, but i see I missed the word list in my asking. If you could pick from my selected books I would greatly appreciate it.

Fully feeling you on the adhd turtle front. 🐢 For your two picks, I chose The Dark Between the Trees by Fiona Barnett and Across a Field of Starlight by Blue Delliquanti . Hope they both turn out great, especially because I just added The Dark Between the Trees to my own tbr. ^_^

VampAmber | 622 comments Penumbra wrote: "For VampAmber I pick these two. Hope they are okay. I don't read horror so at a bit of a loss."

Thanks for the picks, they're both great, and you picked a good one for the bonus pick. More gothic than horror, from what I've seen, so not as far from your wheelhouse as you thought. ^_^

Michelle | 1657 comments BOOK 1

The The Bone Collector (Lincoln Rhyme, #1) by Jeffery Deaver was a DNF for me. I got about 30% into the book and all I wanted to do was to push the MC down a flight of stairs.

VampAmber picks for me The Dark Between the Trees by Fiona Barnett
★★★ 📘

This book was a fun mix of Blair Witch and Annihilation style haunted forest horror.
I'm a sucker for a haunted forest.

You never really get to know any of the characters in depth other than Harper; you don't feel that much for any of them except him and maybe Nuria, so the stakes are fairly low.
I wish there had been more at the end, but that's okay.

Penumbra | 493 comments COMPLETION POST

Canine Love You (River’s Edge Shifters #4) by Lorelei M. Hart
Rating: 2 Stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The authors completely failed to write a satisfactory resolution to the conflict rescue scene, which the plot was based upon. Ruined the story.

Fake the Date (#Love Wins, #1) by Ana Byrde
Rating: 3 Stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I liked the secondary characters more than the main characters. Which tells you something about the book and writing.
