Blood Moon, Britney S. Lewis



This was such a fun read!
Eighteen-year-old Mirabella “Mira” Owens grew up in Timber Plains, Kansas, hearing all about the local legend— how Werewolves had come to their area to protect the humans from Vampires. No one really believes those old fairytales, do they?
Mira's mother had disappeared one night when Mira was 13, and now it's just her and her dad. She's got so much to worry about, as she goes off to college and leaves him alone. Little does she know that was the least of her worries as strange things start to happen on and off campus as she tries to settle in, make new friends and focus on her studies. 
Things start to spiral as she receives a cryptic letter from her mother, warning her that all is not as it seems, and some of her friends start acting strange. 
I enjoyed the campus life happening in this story and the diverse cast. When things started being creepy I had my suspicions, but I was wrong about what I thought was coming and the twists and turns kept me reading to find out what happened! I'm looking forward to the next book in the series! I also have to say that I rarely read a book set in Kansas, and as a Kansas girl myself, that made it even better.

Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, by V.E. Schwab


 Sexy, broken, emotional, and emotionless.
If you thought the world did not need another vampire story, you were absolutely wrong.
V.E. Schwab has created characters so complex, yet so relatable, they make you believe they are real.
Three women connected over many centuries, their stories at once tragic and courageous, innocent and evil.
I could not stop reading this book until it was done, and I craved more. I spent the better part of an afternoon at work to finish it. V.E. Schwab is one of my favorite authors, and this is absolutely one of her best.
