“I confess I’ve already started this eerie, gorgeously written reimagining of Shakespeare’s most famous villainess. Ava Reid is a Gothic queen with masterful command of both heart and horror.”

“I can easily say that libraries are the reason why I’m here doing what I do today. They fed my voracious need for happily ever afters and filled my rainy days with heated tales of faraway lands and hunky lairds.”
