So, I think my review gave enough informaiton. You'll like this one. It was actually my favorite in her series.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12946133849271512083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9995206.post-79293771247592403702009-07-19T07:45:36.285-05:002009-07-19T07:45:36.285-05:00Sounds like a book I need to read.
