Buried Secrets by T.J. Brearton

It's also… Continue reading Best Day Ever by Kaira Rouda

Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker
Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker My rating: 2 of 5 stars I'm not quite sure what to make of this one: the blurb is intriguing but the execution did not quite live up to expectation. You can tell straight away that something is 'off' about the tale being spun but it is so… Continue reading Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker
