While I absolutely love and don’t discount middle grade as a whole, sometimes books can skew a little young for me and thus I end up not really being a fan. Unfortunately, this was the case with Dark Lord: The Early Years by Jamie Thomson. It’s not an awful book by any means, but it’s not […]
The Whispering House Rebecca Wade Book Review
October 28, 2012
I am pretty sure ghosts don’t get enough love any more, especially the kind that haunts, not the kind you pseudo-make out with.
