Hello Fellow Readers!
June simultaneously felt like the longest and shortest month, not sure how that happened but it did. It was also a weird month weather wise, with hot days reaching to 100, while the next day would be 60s with rain and thunderstorms. Of course, with weather like that it allows for perfect reading days! So, let's see what I'm finishing up and have started reading!

Vampire hunter or serial killer? That depends on whether vampires exist . . .
Simon Helsing believes the only way to stop a bad guy with fangs is a good guy with a stake. He has devoted his life to ridding the world of vampires. He hunts them, finds their daytime lairs, and pounds a stake through their hearts. Lexi Tarada wants to believe. She's desperate to prove that the strange and impossible can be real. She runs a website for the unexplained and tries to sift through the crazy conspiracy theories to find out what is - or might be - real. Detective Todd Carrow is a skeptic. Haunted by visions of brutal killings from a previous case, he sees the latest gruesome murders as nothing more than the actions of a madman targeting innocents. Helsing is convinced he's doing good, but what if vampires aren't real and Carrow is right?
