In the Garden of Monsters: A Novel
by Crystal King
Mythology brought to life (8/4/2024)
I have really enjoyed Greek Mythology since I could read as a child. So I am familiar with most of the stories. I loved how the author pulled several of them together and into the present. King's research info at the end showed how thorough she is in her writing. I am also …more

Everything We Never Knew: A Novel

Panther Gap
Panther Gap: A Novel
by James A. McLaughlin
Wonderful! (3/28/2023)
