Review: Masque of the Red Death, Bethany Griffin
“And I’m falling in love with you,” he whispers. “But I would throw you in the water and watch crocodiles tear you to bits, if I thought that doing so would accomplish my goals. Do. Not. Trust. Anyone. Especially me.” The premise of this book really drew me in. It… Read more »
