Season 5: Episode 14: Blood and Brujas plus My Soul to Keep.. 2 Book Episode?

THE BOOKSHELF PODCAST:  Welcome back everyone! This podcast explores many genre books, themes and opinions on worlds, stories and authors that we may or may not love. We explore ourselves are readers as we review some of our favorites and not so favorites, or even new found favorites.  THIS SEASON, we are HOLDING ourselves accountable and trying to finish all the unread books that have been piling up on my bookshelf, and what better way to do that then for season five.  Sometimes it amazes me that we are at episode 14, and I have not covered that many Kindle Books. So this episode I decided to read Blood and Brujas by Mikayla D. Hornedo... lets just say there is more to it than meets the eye, and you dont want to miss what I have to say. Did this meet every expectation I had? You know your girl loves her fantasy, especially with some romantic spice.  On top of that we also go into a hard copy book and read and review My Soul to Keep by Tananarive Due. A horror story based off a woman and an immortal being. Is it a love story and a romance i just had to read and admit was good, or is there more to this read. Did I need to sleep with a night light or was this another predictable horror story? I share all my thoughts and more in this episode and you DO NOT want to miss it!  *Disclaimer, these are opinions, not facts, don't get upset if I do not agree with you, reading is subjective.
