Book Review – Monthly TBR Update November 2022
Books I read this month… Mini non-spoiler reviews… Hunting Adeline was great from a character perspective but the content was way darker than book 1, so be prepared. Unbound is an amazing YA Trojan horse gone awry with romance and espionage. The story was unpredictable which made it so much more interesting. Sleep and SpiritContinue reading “Book Review – Monthly TBR Update November 2022”
