Harrow Lake first burst onto my radar when the publishers were sending out the coolest looking proofs (seriously, check it out!) in the winter.

Book review: The Devouring Gray by Christine Lynn Herman
The Devouring Gray is a book that has had so much buzz around it over the past year. Although it was one of my most highly anticipated books of the spring, I figured it would be a fun but over hyped book — I’ve been burned by this before and I try to be cautious… Continue reading
