Smex Scene Sunday–Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde
Many have recommended this book to me and I finally sat down and read it last night. Well, I’m only at the 50% mark but I can tell you right now it’s a book I would recommend as well.

That said, she can’t seem to hold a job and so she doesn’t have much to lose. Now she’s moved in with her grandma (her only living relative) and is Continue Reading
