Review: Eidolon by Grace Draven
Eidolon by Grace Draven (Wraith Kings #2) Released: April 18, 2016 Fantasy Romance Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Before I begin, let me stress that you must read book one, Radiance before Eidolon, or you will be lost in this world. If you have yet to read Radiance than you have failed in life, because it's amazing and romantic and a must read. No pressure. Eidolon picks up pretty much where Radiance leaves off. Brishen, a Kai who has greyish skin, odd eyes, fangs for teeth and Continue Reading
