Book Review: Crookhaven: The Thieves Revenge
A brilliant finale, it does a great job of tying together storylines from the previous books while still delivering exhilarating plot twists!

Book Review: Iron and Embers
The plot was engaging, the romance had me super invested, and the world-building was great! I’ll definitely be reading the sequel.
