Broken by A.E. Rought

Shine Light by Marianne de Pierres
Shine Light is very short – I knocked it over in a couple of hours – but packs a mighty punch that I’m reeling from! It’s a poignant and fitting conclusion to The Night Creatures series and admirably brings the adventure to a close. The characters continue their growth and…
