Soul Catcher by E.L. Todd 3 out of 5 Stars Hmmm…so I’m writing this review before I decide the number of stars to give it because, honestly, I just don’t […]
Indie Challenge 3 – I, Zombie by Jo Michaels
What an enjoyable read. I sat down this morning thinking to give this a few chapters before I started on my list of things to do today. Before I knew […]
Indie Challenge 2 – Gods of Sand and Stone by W. Shuler
