I can't write books so I review them instead
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I was so excited to read this book, with its magick and witches. I’m always on the lookout for stories about the supernatural and the occult. Here is my review: Summary (Goodreads): When Rona Blackburn landed on Anathema Island…
I received this novel as an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
