Happy reading everyone!
So excited for Beautiful Darkness! I can't wait to read that one, and that cover makes me want to just stare at it all day. Banished sounds really interesting too, that one might just leap into my hands when I'm picking up Beautiful Darkness. Tricky little books, forcing me to buy them:)
