Game Changer by Rachel Reid

3/5 ā­ļø I had such a fun time reading this. It could have used a bit more yearning for me, but otherwise it was really good.

Little Lamb

3/5 ā­ļø I went into a bit of a reading slump, and this got me out of it. I had a lot of fun reading it.

Till Death

3/5 ā­ļø I had an incredible, incredible time reading this. It also helped with my reading slump, but it's the third book in the series.

The Missing Ones

4/5 ā­ļø This was actually incredible. This is my second book by A.R. Torre, and I'm super impressed. This one was even better than the last.

The Patient's Secret

5/5 ā­ļø This had me absolutely hooked. I couldn't put it down. I highly, highly recommend it.

... Read moreDuring July, I explored a variety of books that helped me reconnect with my love for reading, especially when I experienced a reading slump. One of the most refreshing aspects of this month was dabbling in different thriller novels that offer a mix of suspense, romance, and compelling storytelling. Starting with Rachel Reid's "Game Changer," I appreciated its engaging plot and unique take within the erotic thriller genre, even though I found myself craving a bit more emotional tension. This title is part of the popular Masked Mascs series, which blends sports romance with mystery elements, appealing to readers who enjoy character-driven stories with an edge. "Little Lamb" and "Till Death" were personal slump-busters. These titles captured my attention and reignited my reading enthusiasm. Particularly, "Till Death," as the third book in its series, delivers continuity that fans will appreciate while maintaining an intense atmosphere. My favorites this month were A.R. Torre’s thrillers "The Missing Ones" and "The Patient's Secret." These novels stood out with their layered characters and gripping narratives that kept me hooked late into the night. Torre’s mastery of psychological suspense and dark themes elevate these books beyond typical thrillers. "The Patient's Secret" especially had me unable to put it down, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a relentless page-turner. For anyone using Kindle Unlimited, these titles are definitely worth checking out. They offer a wonderful mix of genres that can suit various moods, from light romance to heart-pounding suspense. If you find yourself in a reading slump, sometimes switching to a thrilling series or a well-paced romantic suspense can be just the change you need. Overall, these July reads provided a balance of entertainment and depth, perfect for summer reading lists. Whether you want escapism through passionate romances or the adrenaline rush of thrillers, this selection has something to offer. Keep exploring different genres to keep your reading experience exciting and fulfilling!

These are gripping stories that happen to be 100% true. They are very well written true crime books that focus on telling a story rather than listing out facts. They are all bingeable, remarkable, and moving in their own way. I think it’s the perfect time of year to challenge yourself with nonficti

Honestly, the only book that wasn't a letdown for me was Binding 13. Powerless was overhyped to me. It's a basic fantasy book. The sea of monsters was not as good as the first one but okay. Yes, this is my first time reading Percy Jackson. A Clash of Kings was so soooooo boring until the la
