Wolfsbane by A. Cremer

16 August 2011 Nicole 0

I am a sucker for paranormal YA (in addition to PNR/UF adult novels). Also, I have a habit of picking up books with pretty covers.  This is how I stumbled upon Andrea Cremer’s Nightshade series.  The original cover for Nightshade  (Penguin has changed the designs, but they’re still gorgeous) was purple […]
