Posted on the 04 August 2014 by Lauryn April @LaurynApril
Here at Phantom Owl we support indie authors. We've asked book bloggers to share their indie book reviews with us, and at the beginning of every month, we're going to share with all of you the wonderful books they've suggested. We hope to not only bring attention to indie books, but also to promote the bloggers that are taking the time to read and review them.
The list includes books of all genres.

Indie Books Read: JulyAdam's List by Jennifer Ann
April Books Rating: 5 Stars
Goodreads Rating: 4.08 Stars
"Throughout the novel there is this bittersweet tug and pull between living life to the fullest and being responsible, which is exactly what becoming an adult is all about." - April Books
Indie Books Read: JulyFaded by Chloe Miles
Bookwyrming Thoughts Review: 4 Stars
Goodreads Review: 4.38 Stars
"While Faded isn't the greatest start in the entire world or made a dent into my favorites, it's certainly memorable with the characters and its uniqueness" - Bookwyrming Thoughts
Indie Books Read: JulyThe Duke's Holiday by Maggie Fenton
Victorian Soul Critiques Rating: 4 Stars
Goodreads Rating: 4.07 Stars
"The Duke's Holiday surpassed my expectations, has the atmosphere of its subgenre (historical/Regency), and made me believe that there are great romance books still lurking out there, waiting for me to discover." - Victorian Soul Critiques
Indie Books Read: JulyTankborn by Karen Sandler
Chick Lit Chickadees Rating: 4 Stars
Goodreads Rating: 3.66 Stars
"Even though it started out as probably a two, Tankborn finished as a solid four. A really good read!" Chick Lit Chickadees
Indie Books Read: JulyProm Impossible by Laura Pauling
The Bookish Owl Rating: 2 Stars
Goodreads Rating: 3.26 Stars
"This book is being marketed as a romantic comedy reminiscent of Shakespeare but it is anything but. Sure, the situations can be considered hysterically funny but Shakespeare creates characters who are memorable and distinctive whereas Prom Impossible is an epic fail in that aspect." - The Bookish Owl
