I don’t want to give any spoilers away but Penelope Marzec weaves tale full of twists and turns and you won’t want to miss any of it! I give this book five bones, becuase I’m a dog and I don’t have thumbs.
Congratulations, Penelope. I’ve loved your other Patriot series books and can’t wait to read this one.
Sounds like an intriguing plot with great characters!
