Monthly Recap: October 2018

October!

This month was more difficult than I was expecting it to be, in more ways than one. I don't know how my favorite month of the year went so wrong and so fast. You can also tell my mind was somewhere else because for the first time since I got out of my year-long reading slump I read only three books. Here's hoping for an amazing November and to get my mind in the holiday spirit!

Books I Read & Listened To In October

• Witchblade (2017) #8 - The liked how the story is slowly starting to move along quicker and quicker with each passing issue. The main heroine continues to be a bad*ss and doesn't take any crap from anyone. I can't wait to see where this particular storyline goes and how she evolves/deals with the Witchblade. (My review is live here!)

• Three Mages And A Margarita By Annette Marie  - Annette Marie has done it again! This was a fantastic start to what I can already tell is going to be an amazing series! I love how detail oriented the universe's she creates are. (My review is live here!)

• Hellhounds By Esther E. Schmidt - I loved the initial concept of this story. The author found a very good way of meshing together paranormal romance with MC romance. (My review coming soon!)

Books I Can't Wait To Get My Hands On In November
