I’ve read almost everything written under this author’s other name of Seanan McGuire, I can’t get my hands on her books fast enough.

I received Alice from Ace Roc stars and am finally getting to it, in the preparation of the release of book 2, The Red Queen in July. I have wanted to read it since I had the impression it was a mystery of sorts. I ignored the impressions of it being […]
