I loved In the Shadows, but haven't read Chasing Shadows yet. A lot of the ones I've read are middle grade in tone, but In the Shadows seemed older to me. I loved it.<br /><br />I totally agree with the advice to buy a book (or two) from the shop hosting the event.

It's very good advice about posting negative reviews-- I always try to say something nice, and be constructive instead of mean if there's something I don't like. In general, authors are really kind people!Ms. Yinglinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805324364289597178noreply@blogger.com
