Through the Letterbox: My Bookish Crate Dark Retelling Unboxing

I could see a couple of things peeking out ready to be opened.     I loved the fact that the book […]

And as the years pass, she loses not only her memory of that day but also herself – until eventually only ‘Smudge’ is left. Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister’s dangerous orbit, but if […]
