Grave Dance is the second book in the Alex Craft series and I’m definitely enjoying myself on this one. So far, I’m impressed enough to keep reading.

One warning though, this book deals pretty intensely with anorexia, it doesn’t glorify the disease but I know that for some people the mere mention of […]
