June 2016 Wrap Up

Well another month has passed and per usual I've read mostly kindle books.  And most of them were novellas.  But hell, 18 books are still 18 books!  My goal for the up and coming months is the read more physical books that I have neglected in the past months.

1. Bastian by Lauren Landish so I read this at the beginning of June and I have to be honest, it wasn't a very memorable book.  In fact I remember more details to the short story that was added to this download more than this one. RATING: 3 out of 5 stars
2. Resonating Souls by Ophelia Sikes is the first book in the Bermuda Nights novella series. This series follows Amanda and Evan and a cruise ship.  It was exciting and quick to read and of course, left at a cliff hanger so I had to power through the other books. RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
3. Wine-Dark Dreams by Ophelia Sikes is the second book in the Bermuda Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars 
4. The Soulless Abyss by Ophelia Sikes is the third book in the Bermuda Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
5. Wanting All by Ophelia Sikes is the fourth and final book in the Bermuda Nights Novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
6. Love's Heat by Ophelia Sikes is the first book in the Italian Nights novella series.  This story follows Hannah and Brandon who are on a Mediterranean cruise.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
7. Carved into my Heart by Ophelia Sikes is the second book in the Italian Nights novella series,  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
8. Lost in Darkness by Ophelia Sikes is the third book in the Italian Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
9. Love's Labyrinth by Ophelia Sikes is the fourth book in the Italian Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
10. Flames and Tears by Ophelia Sikes is the fifth and final book in the Italian Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
11. Shades of Kiev by Bella Forrest is a mini spin off of the Shades of vampire series.  It leaves off where the 7th book in the series left off and kind of fills the space and time of where books 7 and 8 had.  This series follows Kiev as he is trying to find the good in him as he is trapped in the realm that all of the non-human creatures come from.  He makes friends but tries to figure out a way to survive as he meets Mona who is a witch with no magic.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars
12. Shades of Kiev 2 by Bella Forrest leaves off where the first book left off.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
13. Shades of Kiev 3 by Bella Forrest follows up where the 2nd book left off.  While it is the end of the series, the ending opens up to how it will play with the rest of the Shades of Vampire series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
14. Dwell in Possibility by Ophelia Sikes is the first novella in the Worcester Nights series.  This story follows Kate and Sean.  This book stands out like the Vegas Nights series, because it doesn't involve a cruise.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
15. A Soul Ajar by Ophelia Sikes is the second novella in the Worcester Nights series.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars 
16. A Song of Soul and Hope by Ophelia Sikes is the thrid novella in the Worcester Nights series.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars
17. Stop One Heart from Breaking by Ophelia Sikes is the fourth and final novella in the Worcester Nights series.  The two in the middle were a little dull but the ending was really action packed.  And out of all of the books that I have read by this author (the main characters are siblings) this one actually had someone that I wish would have been hurt.  I'll go into more detail when I write a review for the series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
18. Half Bad by Sally Green is a young adult paranormal fantasy book that involves witch craft.  Nathan was born as a half white witch and half black witch, and has had to struggle his whole life to prove to those around him that he is a good person.  This is the first in the Half Bad trilogy.  It took me a little bit to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down.  I have every intention to get the last two books.  But I am debating if I want to get the physical copy or just download the kindle versions.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars

Well this is what I read for the month of June.  Yes it is kind of sad that they were all kindle books, and ever more sad was the fact that only one was actually on my TBR.  But I'm looking forward to next month and all of the books that I could possibly read.  Happy Reading!
