The Degenerates by J. Albert Mann

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

SPOILER included: The Degenerates is a slow story, that ends on a not happy note! I wanted my happy ending! I know it was not realistic to have one, but these characters all deserve one.

Olivia and Henry just go day to day in Catboy […]

    on This metaphor is a metaphor for my metaphor.
    I don't remember much about this book, and I do not remember a Choose Your Own Adventure section at all!...
