Lauren DeStefano may have just become one of my favorite authors. She introduces the reader to a horrifyingly dark, dismal, and BELIEVABLE world from page 1 and continues to deliver throughout the novel.

So I’m trying to get back into this whole blogging thing. It’s been a little more difficult to get back into the swing of things than I thought it would be, mainly because my attention span is still similar to a two year old’s. I don’t know if it’s the hormones from being pregnant or […]
