A genie that needs true love in order to escape her lamp? I am all for it. I loved this book but would have love truly loved if there was more fantasy involved. The author brushes over a lot of the fantasy to focus on the romance, which was fantastic by the way. But as a fantasy lover, there is a lot of good stuff here and would love to see it grow. B. Love should write more fantasy […]

I don’t need to be on every piece of social media, so I won’t. But if you do want to follow me instagram.com/niaboothangs Motif by Tanya […]

What sparked this post was actually a conversation I had with my sister. She thinks faeries are creepy and much more scary than the boogieman in your closet or the monster under the bed.
