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?

Because like his other books that I have read previously, I loved this book despite the initial weirdness that I felt about it. The Ocean at the End of the Lane does not care about your ego nor your age nor the number of books that you have read all throughout your reading career, it only cares about how well…
