    In a Dark, Dark Wood

    YOU. MUST. BUY. THIS. BOOK!!! I happened to stumble across this book in the book store. I have never read anything by this author before and thought I'd take a chance. OMG. GREAT READ! I whipped through the pages because it was THAT good! Easy reading and great writing style, but it was the storyline that had me flying through the pages. A must read!

    Twisty

    This book surprises you with quite a few twists. A must read. I think I had too high expectations. But it was still good. You won't expect the ending.

  • Book

    Didn’t realize it was an ex library book so it has stamps all over it. Other than that it was a good deal for the price.
