Book Review: Sanctuary

Oh, Roman! Regardless of how sexy and gorgeous you are, I am cringing and laughing at you the whole time I was reading this book. How can you do that to the poor girl? And Ilona Andrews, how dare you write Roman’s Chronicles in novellas when you could have written his adventures in a full book?

Little did I know that it would blow my mind away in the most dizzying and delicious way. Told from two alternating point of views, A Girl Like Us has wrapped me around its pages from start to finish. Why? Because reading it made me feel like I am watching a teleserye with all the salacious secrets…
