Book Review: The Raventree Society: Season One by J.E. Purrazzi

Official rating: 4.75 stars

Personal rating: 3 stars

Why the above discrepancy? This book was wonderfully done, but it wasn’t really for me. No, not because it’s horror and I almost never read horror. The problem was that I’m neither an emotional enough or a visual enough reader for this book.

Character Interview: Era Selene

If you read Casabree’s interview from two weeks ago, you’ve already heard of Era.

Also, she’s the only person around who’s not the tiniest bit scared of Ammadeus. Enjoy her interview! Continue reading “Character Interview: Era Selene”
