To me, the application of an award seal on a book’s cover instantly makes the book more appealing. I am one of those people who is swayed by the judgment of others and so, when books win awards, I want to read them even if I never made them a priority before. I read In Darkness […]
Starry Nights | Daisy Whitney | Book Review
January 17, 2014
With a cover like Starry Nights by Daisy Whitney, it would stand to reason that you would open the book and expect an intense, mash their faces together, in your heart forever romance.

She also has a huge problem with admitting defeat and allowing submission. She refuses to take orders from anyone but […]
