Book Review: Everbound by Brodi Ashton

Book Review Everbound Brodi Ashton

Spoiler free even if you haven't read the first book in this series.  The tone that I adored from the first book is back in Everbound.  The opening line, which I loved, just sets the tone so well. "It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life.  Where you stumble, there ... Read More »
