Thanks everyone for stopping by. Do you enjoy a bit of fantasy romance from time to time?
Fantasy romance isn't usually my thing but this one sounds intriguing. I may have to do a little out-of-my-usual-genre reading.
ReplyDeleteMason - What an interesting concept for a story! I'm not usually one to reach first for a fantasy novel either but this one looks innovative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments ladies. And thank you Mason!
ReplyDeleteI hope you ladies will decide to take a chance and read PERFECT MISFITS. It's definitely an adult book, but in the end it's all about love :-) Thanks again.
You don't see gargoyles in fiction often. Maybe it's the start of a new trend?
