Legacy
Young Adult Fiction
ABSOLUTE MUST-READ!

I read this book and was blown away by 16 year old Cayla Kluver's writing. This is the exact book that turned me back on to reading.. hadn't read in years! I also convinced my other half to read the book and ended up equally loving! We waited forever for...

Long awaited and absolutely happy with it!!

Absolutely recommend this read! Legacy (The first book) was amazing. I swear I waited impatiently a whole year for this to come out and was not disappointed. Brilliant writing and beautiful story.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Young Adult Fiction

This book was awesome. I found it a very DIFFERENT story, which is hard to find with all the young adult paranormal junk. "She was new in her high school" yadda yadda. This has action and adventure! It is a little religious (Which I am not) however, it is easy...
