A girl dissatisfied with her life in a provincial town; a mysterious being stuck in a hidden castle; a merchant who has lost everything; a hunter wielding a battleaxe to save her father. One of these is not like the other. Meagan Spooner takes the timeless tale of Beauty of the Beast and weaves a […]

However, with that power comes rules that Mim will see inevitably broken throughout the course of this book. From the very beginning, […]
So I think I know what this author was going for when writing the book. I mean, come on, people spontaneously combusting? Sounds like a wild ride with plenty of character introspection and growth. When I started Spontaneous, I was ready to find an underrated gem that not many people know of. What I got […]
