Hello everyone! I hope you guys are doing well and reading something good. I’ve did some research on what books are coming out soon and I have found quite a few June 2024 book releases that I’m excited about so I had to share them!
I realize that I don’t keep up with books that are releasing around certain months. I have to be honest, there is a reason for that. It’s hard for me to hold myself back from buying new books. But after doing some research on June 2024 book releases I’m glad that I did because I found some of my favorite authors are releasing new books during this month!
I know you guys probably have a lot of books on your plate if you’re anything like me. But if I fall down the rabbit hole of new books then I’m going to take you guys with me!
Even though I really like thrillers Domestic Thrillers are actually kind of new to me. I don’t know why I haven’t started reading them sooner because most of the ones I have read have been really good. Most of them make you wonder if these types of books can actually happen to you.
I know it’s something that I have actually questioned before because the things that have happened in domestic thrillers can easily happen in real life. In fact, I’m sure a lot of these things that happen in the books are based on real-life events. I know when I write I base it on things I have seen or things I have heard.
Have you been wanting to read more diverse books but unsure where to start? For a while now I have been wanting to create a blog post about thrillers by black authors. If you’re anything like me then you probably don’t pay attention to the authors very much. I mean nothing against the authors because I know the book is their babies. All I really pay attention to is the cover and what the book is about.
Hey everyone and welcome to Owl Book World! I’m so happy to see you here. Today I’m writing a review about Legend by Marie Lu. I just found out about this book recently through TikTok (if you’d like to follow me there you can find me here) and I just had to get my hands on it. I’m surprised I have never heard of this book before getting on TikTok since I really enjoy dystopian novels!

It knows your fear…
Summer, 1989. Four best friends—Gabe, Kimberly, Charlie, and Sonya—are preparing for their last summer together before senior year, after which they’ll all be splitting up to start college in different parts of the country. They make a promise to always find their way back to each other, no matter how far away from their sleepy Pennsylvania hometown they get.
But their plans are destroyed when a plane crashes right on top of their favorite hangout outside of town—and right on top of them.
In the catastrophic aftermath of the incident, Gabe, Sonya and Charlie are plagued by eerie visions and messages from an unknown watcher. They soon realize that the plane crash was no accident, and now they are being hunted by a sinister presence. And everyone is still searching for Kimberly, who has been missing ever since Gabe saw somebody wearing a gas mask carry her out of the woods the day the sky fell down on them…

What I thought of Dagger Hill
So, this is the first book that I read by Devon Taylor and I’m so glad that I did. For one that cover really grabbed my attention. A good cover always grabs my attention and what initially catches my attention to a book. Then on top of that, the sound of the book sounds really good. I love books that take place around the 80s and 90s because it brings so much nostalgia. Granted I was born in 1990 so I wasn’t really there for the 80s, but both decades seem to bring a lot of comfort for me.
Dagger Hill follows a few different characters that get themself in a bad situation even though they were told not to go somewhere and they did it anyway. Of course, teenagers who are about to embark on their own journey through life never end up listening and think they know better.
All of the characters in the story are very well done and have a lot of growth. Thankfully none of the characters actually blend with each other. On top of that Dagger Hill is really fast-paced and is pretty similar to Stranger Things which made me so happy with this book!
I’m hoping soon I can actually get to more of Devon’s books!
