You can check out my latest wellness blog post to get a better understanding of why I have been so MIA! I have included some of the ones from the June TBR that I will be reading this July. Please note that I took these descriptions from Goodreads so that I don’t butcher anything I say to books I haven’t read yet.

Do you know what it’s like to be the butt of the joke? I do. Do you know what it’s like to have hundreds or thousands of people criticize your every move? Same here. Have you ever been outed by someone without your permission? Yup, me again. I’m Cory, and my older sister is a Youtube influencer with a lifestyle vlog and a fanbase that loves to hate me. Her first viral video hit just before I entered ninth grade when she ‘accidentally’ outed me while fretting to the internet how her poor, gay brother was going to be treated in high school. Up until that point, no one even knew my name, let alone anything so personal. I don’t want to be famous in that way. If anything, I want to be behind the camera, as the writer and producer of my own television show. Then Jon Park comes back into our lives. His best friend is my sister’s boyfriend, so he’s always been a part of her friend group, even though he seems to dislike my sister almost as much as I do. The problem is that he dislikes me even more! But he’s been absent all summer, and no one’s heard a peep out of him. A star soccer player, he’s cold and unapproachable, but the girls at school are obsessed with him. Somehow by accident, we begin spending time together, watching movies (I’m a huge movie buff!). The more I get to know him, the more I see another side to him. But things get crazy when he comes out to me, and then even crazier when I find out that my sister was eavesdropping and plans on outing him the same way she outed me. I want to be the one writing dramas, not in the middle of one myself!
Pip is about to head to college, but she is still haunted by the way her last investigation ended. She’s used to online death threats in the wake of her viral true-crime podcast, but she can’t help noticing an anonymous person who keeps asking her: Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears? Soon the threats escalate and Pip realizes that someone is following her in real life. When she starts to find connections between her stalker and a local serial killer caught six years ago, she wonders if maybe the wrong man is behind bars. Police refuse to act, so Pip has only one choice: find the suspect herself—or be the next victim. As the deadly game plays out, Pip discovers that everything in her small town is coming full circle... and if she doesn’t find the answers, this time she will be the one who disappears...
Some enemies start out as friends. Some friends start out as enemies. Some lovers start out as an evil nemesis from the fiery pits of hell. Prince Aron Vaughn hates the annoying overachiever Quinton Underwood, and the feeling is absolutely mutual. Aron wants nothing more than to have Quinton expelled from their luxurious private academy. All he has to do is ask his father, the king, to be rid of his newfound arch-nemesis, but doing so will only prove that Aron is nothing without his title. He’s determined to defeat Quinton on his own! However, as the two boys constantly butt heads over the years, they come to learn about one another, thus changing their once strenuous relationship and leading them into new and unknown territory. Are they enemies? Are they friends? Can they ever be more?
Some enemies start out as friends. Some friends start out as enemies. Some lovers start out as an evil nemesis from the fiery pits of hell. Prince Aron Vaughn hated the annoying overachiever Quinton Underwood, but now he’s dating him! As the only heir to the throne, Aron is faced with a hard truth; that the world will not accept him for who he truly is. The world certainly won’t accept Quinton either, whose father is a convicted serial killer. When the news breaks that they are merely friends, they’re faced by harsh backlash resulting in a rupture in their new relationship. Can they overcome the political pressure and Aron’s expectations as a prince or is their relationship doomed to crash and burn?
It’s almost Christmas, and Emery Hazard finds himself face to face with his own personal nightmare: going on a double date with his partner—and boyhood crush—John-Henry Somerset. Hazard brings his boyfriend; Somers brings his estranged wife. Things aren’t going to end well. When a strange call interrupts dinner, however, Hazard and his partner become witnesses to a shooting. The victims: Somers’s father, and the daughter of a high school friend. The crime is inexplicable. There is no apparent motive, no connection between the victims, and no explanation for how the shooter reached his targets. Determined to get answers, Hazard and Somers move forward with their investigation in spite of mounting pressure to stop. Their search for the truth draws them into a dark web of conspiracy and into an even darker tangle of twisted love and illicit desire. And as the two men come face to face with the passions and madness behind the crime, they must confront their own feelings for each other—and the hard truths that neither man is ready to accept.
