Monthly Wrap-Up | July [2019]

Hey Everyone! Welcome back to my another monthly wrap up post! I hope you all had a wonderful month. Well, July wasn’t really a great month for me. One of our dogs who’s ten year old passed away so it was pretty much a gloomy month and I wasn’t really that much active in the blog. But anyways, I’ve still managed to read some books but not as many as I thought I would. So here’re the books that I’ve read this month!

THE EYES OF TAMBURAH (ARCHIVES OF THE INVISIBLE SWORD#1)
BY MARIA V. SYNDER

This book was a hidden gem! I quite enjoyed the characters, the concept, and the slow adventure. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a unique YA fantasy.

Blurb: Shyla is a researcher who resides in the underground desert city of Zirdai, which is ruled by the wealthy Water Prince and brutal Heliacal Priestess. Even though Shyla is sun-kissed – an outcast, considered cursed by the Sun Goddess – she is still renowned for uncovering innumerable archaic facts, lost artefacts, ancient maps, and obscure historical documents. Her quiet life is about to change when Banqui, an archaeologist, enlists her services to find The Eyes of Tamburah: legendary gemstones that bestows great magic to its wielder. These ancient objects can tip the balance of power and give whoever possesses them complete control of the city.

But chaos erupts when The Eyes are stolen soon after they’re found – and Shyla is blamed for the theft. Forced to flee, with the Prince’s soldiers and the Priestess’ deacons on her trail, Shyla must recover the jewels and clear her name. A quest that will unearth secrets even more valuable than The Eyes of Tamburah themselves…

First Son Alex Claremont-Diaz is the closest thing to a prince this side of the Atlantic. With his intrepid sister and the Veep’s genius granddaughter, they’re the White House Trio, a beautiful millennial marketing strategy for his mother, President Ellen Claremont.

Rosa Santos is cursed by the sea—at least, that’s what they say. Dating her is bad news, especially if you’re a boy with a boat. But Rosa feels more caught than cursed. Caught between cultures and choices. Between her abuela, a beloved healer and pillar of their community, and her mother, an artist who crashes in and out of her life like a hurricane. Between Port Coral, the quirky South Florida town they call home, and Cuba, the island her abuela refuses to talk about.
