Mawdiay Faith's review
of
DOSA Files: Tales from the SVR Universe, Volume 1 (DOSA Files #1):
"I truly enjoyed this book. There were some stories that were not my "cup of tea", but there were some really good ones. I especially liked Rethink, Oh Snap, The Mundanites, and The Supervillain Named Heartache.
I like how Rethink had a theme of mercy " Read more of this review » |
