Carl's challenges, both RIP and OUAT, appeal to so many readers.

Still, I'm glad to know it's good. It's certainly an intriguing premise. I think I better hurry up and read the first book before the second book in the series hits the shelves. Wish me luck. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-16110006108561203012016-03-23T11:40:19.121-05:002016-03-23T11:40:19.121-05:00I am glad you enjoyed this one overall, Jenclair. ...I am glad you enjoyed this one overall, Jenclair.
