Monthly Roundup: June 2017

I read a total of 7 books this month! Fairly good, since I was traveling for the main part of June, doing photography and service work in Tanzania! Nevertheless, I still managed to read five books on my trip, in addition to a couple others! 1) Nevernight - Jay Kristoff (4.5 stars) 2) A Penny Lost - Aspen Bassett (2.5 stars) 3) Gemina - Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff (5 stars) 4) Dark Matter - Blake Crouch (4 stars) 5) Grave Mercy - Robin LeFevers (4 stars) 6) Dark Triumph - Robin LeFevers (4 stars) 7) Mortal Heart - Robin LeFevers (4 stars) As you can see, I read the entire His Fair Assassin trilogy  by Robin LeFevers during my trip.

A Penny Lost - Aspen Bassett *I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.* Synopsis ( from Goodreads ) "Penelope Grace, usually forgotten under the shadow of her twin sister's perfection, tries her hardest to hide her freakish ability to see into anyone's soul.

The Void follows them through history, increasing the dangers as if testing Penny. But what is it testing for? And why does it claim to know her better than even she knows herself? Even as Penny searches for answers, she must fight to survive the tragedies of both the past and future in order to get back home." Review This story had a very intriguing premise, which is what peaked my interest in it. I love all things time-travel. I felt like the author's take on it was very unique and different,
