FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!
I'm so excited to checkout this new series by Devon Monk! I've heard so many wonderful things about her books, and now finally, I have the opportunity to catch up with her in her brand new series.

Magic, Frankenstein, Immortals, Stitched or created like Blodeuwedd?? I have no idea, but I'm totally intrigued!
