Review: Death Knell by Hailey Edwards
Death Knell by Hailey Edwards Foundling #3 Urban Fantasy December 4, 2018 by Piatkus Favorite Quote: "A human heart only has no many beats." He flattened my palm against his chest.

So, as usual, everything falls to me. I’ve got the tree partially Continue Reading

A Holiday by Gaslight by Mimi Matthews The holiday books are here! In abundance! Quick, someone give me a rec, I've been bitten by the Yuletide Love Bug!
