My Thoughts I didn’t realize BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL was a vampire story going in. That was a fun discovery. I enjoyed the stories of each of the women. Although, Alice was my favorite because I related to her more than the other two. I wasn’t as interested in or drawn to […]

My Thoughts I’m glad I decided to follow my book club’s recommendation and start the Emma M. Lion series. I really enjoyed the format as it made for an interesting read.
