Your Blood, My Bones by Kelly Andrew

5.0

This book deserves all the stars! Even though I saw the end coming, there really wasn't any other way it could have ended. Definitely going to be thinking about this one for a while; much like its predecessor, The Whispering Dark.

The Spells We Cast by Jason June

5.0

Definitely enjoyed this one more than Out of the Blue by the same author. I'm definitely not the intended audience for that one and it's okay. But TSWC was right up my alley and I'm looking forward to the second book!
