I did not enjoy this. It feels overly messy and certain characters didn't need to be centered for as long as they were. It is also unnecessarily long

This could have been 200 pages shorter and it is clear that she is not a fantasy writer. So many plotholes and things that did not make sense

Marrow

Trisha Wolfe, Brynne Weaver

DID NOT FINISH: 13%

I didn't love Trisha Wolfe's serial killer duet but I was hoping that with this being co-written maybe I'd enjoy it more. Honestly I was bored and I don't care about the conflict between the two characters so I'm just gonna stop

LOVED IT. Cannot wait to read more by this author.

I loved both Janelle and Rome. The relationship was believable and I'm ready to fight her sister!
