(Her popular Daughters of the Moon series sort of crossed her normal sensibility with paranormal romance and was awesomely weird and fun, although a bit too early to really cash in on the YA craze.)Livianiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479932701589363306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530836089087964376.post-37181004915396690032014-02-10T04:29:18.333-08:002014-02-10T04:29:18.333-08:00Great review sweetie!

I downloaded this via Edelweiss SO MANY months ago.. but then I tried to read it, and I could not. Just not my writing style or plot. Sigh.
