Review: Hunting Fiends for The Ill-Equipped by Annette Marie

Review: A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong

A Darkness Absolute (Rockton #2) by Kelley Armstrong My Rating: 4 stars Genre: Thriller Age Category: Adult Type of romance: MF Blurb: When experienced homicide detective Casey Butler first moved to the secret town of Rockton, she expected a safe haven for people like her, people running from their past misdeeds and past lives.
