The Deep was one of my most highly anticipated books of 2020, and I’m sorry to say it didn’t quite live up to my expectations. I was expecting a ghost story set aboard the […]

And the familiar lament begins…”How can it possibly be MARCH??” Seriously, I’m still not done with February. I did not get to all the February books I wanted to, so this month will most likely be a mix. But in good news, I have got a small jump on my March review pile. I’ve already […]

FINNA by Nino Cipri – Review

FINNA by Nino Cipri – Review
Posted February 20, 2020 by Tammy in 4 stars, Reviews / 39 Comments
