Review: Gifted by Kelley Armstrong

Gifted (Otherworld #13.4 and Cainsville #?) by Kelley Armstrong Blurb: Contains two holiday stories, one Otherworld Pack and one Cainsville.

Soon everyone took to the vast, empty aether sea. The Royal Hegemony keeps a tight rein on the Spellcaster’s Union, and the […]
