Well-written & engrossing. I haven’t gotten through a book this big this fast in quite awhile. The Graphic Audio audiobooks were also an enjoyable way to get into this story, worth checking out.

Is all of media conspiring to groom its young femme readers?

Yet another teen girl manipulated into a romantic relationship with an immortal 500 year old man.
