Fragmented by Madeline Dyer

Fragmented by Madeline Dyer

I have to say, while I ‘liked’ Untamed, the first book in the series, I absolutely loved Fragmented. Not only do the stakes introduced in […]

Blood in the Fire

Blood in the Fire

My initial thoughts Blood in the Fire is written in the first person, and the standard of writing is very high. It begins at a point close to media res and the writing style (and story) was quick to entice me. It begins with feel of a mainstream fiction novel, but soon changes its tone, […]
