Book Review – The Sisters’ Secrets: Rose by Katlyn Duncan @katlyn_duncan #BookBlogger #AmReading
This was one of my most different but wonderful reads. The book was a cacophony of different voices luring me on even when the book was from Rose's POV.

And … Continue reading Her last secret by Barbara Copperthwaite
