Entertainment Weekly News!
This caught me by surprise. I love Wendy Walker, and when I asked her to take an early read of Her Last Breath (with an eye to blurbing it if she liked it), she graciously agreed. But I never imagined I’d see her recommending the book in the pages of Entertainment Weekly! From Wendy: Her […]
