Review: Crimson Rapture by Jennifer Horsman

by Keira 03.13.2011

I first heard about Crimson Rapture from a HaBo post over at Smart Bitches: Trashy Books. I can’t remember now if this book was the actual book or just one of the suggestions, but I guess it hardly matters. It sounded cool and I got it immediately from Paperback Swap. It was originally published in [...]
