Review: Spellbook of the Lost and Found
I took a chance on Moira Fowley-Doyle’s Spellbook of the Lost and Found after falling in love with its gorgeous cover on Twitter. I haven’t read The Accident Season, her debut novel, so I didn’t really know what to expect in terms of style. Continue reading

A sneaky shot of the mini… Continue reading
