edit data

JESSACA is a fantasy writer with an inclination toward the dark, epic, and romance sub-genres. She draws inspiration from books like the Nevernight Chronicles & ACOTAR, videogames like Dark Souls III, and television shows like Game of Thrones and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

She is a self-proclaimed nerd who loves cosplay, video games, and comics, and if you live in the PNW, you just might see her at one of the local comic conventions in one of her favorite RWBY cosplays!

Oops! I'm just now seeing this. Sorry! Maybe you already saw my review, but I wasn't that blown away by it. I wanted to be! It had all the right makings for something super fun! But it fell short... You planning on reading it soon? I'd be interested to know what you thought. I've heard a lot of mixed opinions about it!
