I really enjoyed the summer reading challenge by World Indie Warriors. And, I loved the review author J.D. Groom posted on Instagram for Ocean Heart.
I had read quite a few of the books in the challenge already so I created Instagram posts to share my review on the platform.
Agent Undone by Cassidy Reyne (romantic suspense)
Brave New Girl by Grace Herbst (YA Contemporary)
Crown of Conspiracy by Kara S. Weaver (epic fantasy)
Sorceress of Truth by J.D. Groom (contemporary fantasy)
Amelia’s Story by Nicola Hebron (fantasy romance)
Duet Rubato by Claerie Kavanaugh (LGBTQ romance)
Red Blood by Kaitlyn Legaspi (YA Fantasy)
I also wanted to read some new books for the challenge and read The Mirror Souls and Blind Date.
The Mirror Souls by Julia Scott
I finished the month still reading Fate of the Blue Moon by H.B. Lyne and A Choice of Essence by Katelyn Uhrich. Hopefully, I’ll have their reviews in a few weeks.
I’m pleased that I managed to post nine indie book reviews to Instagram for the Challenge.
But, I didn’t stop there. I created blog posts, Vero posts, Instagram Stories, TikToks & YouTube shorts. And, then shared them all to Pinterest.

The challenge was set by World Indie Warriors on Instagram. They created three #WIWBingo boards; YA, Romance, and Fantasy.
The aim is to read and review the books on Instagram and tag @worldindiewarriors
The goal is to get three in a line, and help indie books get seen.
I’m doing the challenge. I’ve already read some of the books on the board so I’ll be reposting them this month, and I’m hoping to read some new one too.
Here is my post of my old review for Duet Rubato by Claerie Kavanaugh . I shortened it for social media.

I chose this book because it got me my BINGO in the Summer Reading challenge by World Indie Warriors. And, I’m so glad I did!
Jenny (the MC) lives in a flat with her cat, Bing. She works in customer service, handlings complaints. Her mum & BFF are sending her on blind dates as they’re as desperate for her to meet someone, maybe more desperate than Jenny is.
Jenny is a relatable character. She tries hard, but things always go wrong, often with hilarious consequences. She’s crushing on a guy at work that’s not into her, or could he be? But, the situation is never right and she’s off on another blind date.
Bing isn’t the main character but he is such a star in the book I had to mention this cat. In fact he is probably my favourite fictional pet, ever!
Another character I loved was the BFF, Sarah. This girl was always just a phone call away, picking Jen’s spirits up after disaster dates, and laughing with her (and the reader).
I’m a slow reader and I devoured this book in a weekend! This is so well written. There’s hilarious moments in every chapter, and jokes that are weaved through the book that get funnier ever time.
I loved so many of the characters. Bing is my all time favourite fictional pet. Sarah is an amazing BFF! The dream guy was perfection. I lived for every moment in his presence.
I had a friend that went on some entertaining blind dates and this book brought those stories back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I downloaded this book onto my Kindle app ages ago, and forgot about it. But, the World Indie Warriors Summer Reading Challenge reminded me to read it.
I follow Julia on social media and she is my formatter. She’s also the newest member of the Unstoppable Authors Podcast Team.
The books is set in the future with three different alien races. Well, one race is Gaians which is basically human, from Gaia aka Earth.
Avalons look human but are superior and rule the Gaians. They have access to tech that enable them to teleport and monitor everything the Gaians do.
The Midorians are another alien race at war with the Avalons. They live out in space on massive ships.
The main character is Alana. She’s Giana and best friends with an Avalon, Gen. Alana is a rebel and breaks rules like curfew and crosses boundaries to be with her BFF.
Alana is dreading shift day when her & her family could be moved as she likes where they are. She’s also almost eighteen, an age where she’ll be give her profession. As she gets older, there’s more talk of her being coupled.
I liked Alana. She’s a daring character and a rebel. The story is about her finding her Mirror Soul. It’s like a soul mate that awakens powers.
The Avalons don’t allow Mirror Souls and Alana is breaking rules to discover and be with hers, putting everyone she loves in danger.
It’s a fast paced adventure as they travel all over the world looking for somewhere safe to be together. Instead, they unravel a load of secrets, as embark on a mission to rescue Alana’s family.
I’m not a fan of aliens. space or travelling, and this book was up against that. But, the fast pace and action kept me turning the page as I unravelled secrets with Alana.
