My June reads 🏃‍♀️🔥🕊️

2025/9/9 Edited to

This June's reading list brings a compelling mix of suspense, mystery, and emotional depth that truly captivates. Jojo Moyes' 'Windfallen' offers readers a heartfelt journey centered on letting go and personal growth, reflecting the bestseller’s signature style that resonates deeply with fans of historical romance. Helen Cooper's 'The Downstairs Neighbor' stands out as a gripping psychological thriller that explores dark secrets lurking behind familiar doors. With multiple plot twists and a sharp examination of the question "How well do you really know your neighbors?", this novel maintains tension at every turn, making it a perfect choice for readers who enjoy intricate mysteries and adult themes. Fans of suspense will appreciate Mary Higgins Clark’s 'Pretend You Don’t See Her', which is noted for its intense themes of murder and violence. Clark, known as the Queen of Suspense, provides a masterful storytelling experience that keeps readers on edge. Suspicious Origin by Patricia MacDonald also features in this selection, praised for its cat-and-mouse thriller elements combined with a romantic subplot. MacDonald’s skillful weaving of language, murder, and adult themes delivers an unsettling yet irresistible narrative. These books are recommended for a mature audience due to their language, sexual references, and violent content, but their rich storytelling and well-crafted characters offer rewarding reads. Whether you crave emotional depth or chilling suspense, these June picks offer something compelling for every book lover. Dive into these works to experience dramatic storytelling, unexpected twists, and profound character journeys during your next reading sessions.

June was a ROCKSTAR month for me!!! Now don’t come for me, when reading ToG I started with assassin’s blade and truthfully it was a 10/10 experience! I also did the tandem read for Empire of Storm and Tower of Dawn. I was initially worried it would be too much for me but the way it all lined up

The cover for the book "SAINT" by Sierra Simone. It features a black and white image of a man with his head tilted back, eyes closed, wearing a cross necklace. The title "SAINT" is in large purple letters.

The book cover for "Tempus Viatorum" by Jenbjo98. It shows dark silhouettes of two figures, one with long flowing hair, against a dark background with subtle red and purple hues. The title is in white cursive.

✨ Saint by Sierra Simone - 🌶️🌶️🌶️ did this one as an audiobook and I really like it. I think Priest is still my favorite from this series though. ✨ Tempus Viatorum by Jenbjo98 - this one was a fan fiction of Hermione and Tom Riddle from Harry Potter and it was soooooo good. ✨Over the Line by
