Here’s what worked for them.
NOTE: Some you might have seen before (since they come up as favorite books often – just to give you an idea of how amazing they are, like that one there to the left 😉 ). And some may be new to you (and me!). Either way, I bet this list can help! 😀

Here it is: Reader Question… Solved! The book about the vampire king that saves a child and raises her as his own…
Sue: A Thousand Splendid Suns – found the paperback in a charity shop – different from what I normally read but best book so far this year. hope you enjoy like I did. It’s about Afghanistan, a story about two women, the hardships they face, there is a little romance too.

MichelleS: I devoured Tairen Soul years ago, and it’s my all time favorite!!!
Janie: if you haven’t read the Tairen Soul series by C.L. Wilson, I highly recommend if you love a good Fae book! .
