I swear, this must be the year where all the young adult books of genres that I think I don’t like come out and prove me wrong. Like, I am not much of a fan of reading thriller type books, even though I will totally always watch Law & Order and Castle and those sort […]
Gated | Amy Christine Parker | Book Review
August 22, 2013
Y’all, there is never a time in my life where I would say no to an interesting, traditionally published book featuring cults.
