Conspiracy theories are the best. Although their biggest adherents often look like crackpots, I’d put a good conspiracy right up there with my fascination for cults. Rachel Carter delves into the Montauk Project with her debut So Close To You, a young adult time travel romance. Many years ago, main character Lydia Bentley’s great grandfather, Dean, disappeared […]
Endlessly Kiersten White Book Review
July 25, 2012
May contain MINOR spoilers for Paranormalcy trilogy READ AT OWN RISK!! I feel that the last book in a series is always bittersweet. Sweet, because the loose threads get resolved and most of the time you get some closure. Bitter, because it is the very end of your journey with that character. Y’all, it has […]
