Review: Captive by Aimée Carter

Review: Captive by Aimée Carter

Review: On the Edge by Allison van Diepen

The gang and thrill part of On the Edge was pretty awesome. I loved the danger and how people were standing up to violence, gangs, and all that goes with them (drugs, sex trafficking, etc.). What I liked less was the romance. I liked the […]
