Every year, I am surprised by the cold wind and dark evenings as winter approaches here in the UK. Even more baffling is that some parts of the world are experiencing summer and high temperatures right now! The good news is that whatever the weather you are experiencing, there are new releases for that season this month! Here are a few to check out:

It did not take long for the casual writing style and vivid descriptions to pull me in and bring this story to life. Further enriching the narrative is the emotive language used to convey the complex emotions of the main character, Jack, but this eventually becomes repetitive and tedious.
