“You won’t find anyone in this town straighter than a pretzel.” A Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing is the first book in the Fool’s Crown, a supernatural/urban fantasy series.

I picked Everfair because I was intrigued by the premise: a steampunk alternate history of the BelgianRead More

I haven’t fallen so head over heels for a book in years. Here’s the premise: a YA fantasy book where two princesses fall in love. I mean, there’s a lot more to it.
