I read this book while in a mild non-reading mood...

Book Review, Catch Up: Part 6
Silence #1 by Natasha Preston This book is a really quick one, about 200 pages but the subject is heavy. My issues with the book are 1st that the story felt rushed, 2nd the sudden change in pov & 3rd the subject is more so insinuated. Where the editors were, yo no se, but I... Continue Reading →
