What’s a girl to do when she has just found out her Dad isn’t who she thought he was, her mom has disappeared with all the answers, a witch coven wants to strip her of her witch magic, some crazy smoke men are after her, the Djinn who was inside her body is totally […]
Shoot the Messenger is the first book in a new series, The Messenger Chronicles by Pippa DaCosta. There are a few things I’ve learned about books by Miss DaCosta. 1 – She is not afraid of having her main characters do horrible things. 2 – She loves to wrap the emotions of her readers around […]
The thing I really like about Seanan McGuire is – she is different.
