Whilst my TBR list and review obligations are huge right now, I definitely shan't be forgetting about this one in a hurry!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and have a good week :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-27362237335829988812017-05-16T12:49:21.950-07:002017-05-16T12:49:21.950-07:00I love that cover, and your teasers sound interest...I love that cover, and your teasers sound interesting!
