I've read everything by, AC, and this was definitely a fave of mine. Glad you loved it too!


Dina I also read everything by her a long time ago, but it was in Portuguese. I've challenged myself to reread everything again, this time in Portuguese. :)

This one caught me by complete surprise the 1st time, and I found myself fascinated all over again. Fantastic read!

Rane Aww another stabbing, couldn't be death by an ice shard or being pushed on cupid's arrow by any chance, make it a little more....


Dina LOL, Rane, this was only the 3rd book in this reading marathon of mine. You'll be acquainted with all kinds of COD when I'm finished.
