Darcy has gone. Not sure what to do next.

This sounds like a great series. I've only read the first one. I need to catch up. I'm reading White Hot by Ilona Andrews this week. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteThe protagonist of Livia Lone sounds different and interesting. In my opinion that kind f a book needs a well thought out detective.
