Dreamstrider by Lindsay Smith

I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, this does not influence my opinion on the book or my review.

This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzie Lee

This Monstrous Thing by Mackenzie Lee

I received this book for review from the publisher. This does not influence my thoughts on the book or my review.  I read Frankenstein over a year ago and I have to say I’m not a fan of classics. However, I’m a fan of retellings, especially ones that make me appreciate classics I didn’t appreciate so much. This […]
