5 Things About Isle of Blood and Stone by Makiia Lucier
HELL YEAH SURPRISE 5 STAR The best 5 star reads are the ones that take you by surprise. I don’t know why I expected to have mixed feelings on this, I hadn’t even seen any reviews for it. It’s a real diamond in the rough. Great characters, a quest, side plot romance that doesn’t take over the plot, and a […]

While slow in some sections, RED SISTER did not disappoint. The book leads with a guide that you can return to should you need definitions of the any of the terms. […]
