*Note: This is the second in the series and it definitely isn’t a standalone so treat yourself and read Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries. I can’t tell you how excited I was to delve back into the world of Emily Wilde!

Aspen is intense and he was so much fun to […]

Nevermore Bookstore was heartwarming, FUNNY, and a whole heap of angsty. Perfect for curling up with on a dreary PNW day!
