Goodreads Review: The Darkest Child
The Darkest Child by Delores Phillips My rating: 5 of 5 stars *I received a copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review* A brutally honest work of fiction that doesn’t revel in the sadness or horror it reveals about race, family, poverty and the cycles that trap people […]
Goodreads Review: Pretty Girls Dancing
Pretty Girls Dancing by Kylie Brant My rating: 3 of 5 stars *I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* This is a difficult book to put a rating on. There’s family drama, crime drama and then there’s the resolution. My rating depends […]
Goodreads Review: Erasing Memory
