Loved: Bad Boy Next Door Romance
Alizeh ValentineWolf Bane, the final book in Michelle Paver's Mesolithic series is a powerful, fast-paced, emotional read. I loved the circular narrative and the way she returns to the core values of the story: the love between a boy and his wolf. I cried. I miss them. @MichellePaver #NetGalley https://t.co/LROwNJqiEU
