by Leave a Comment

Star Beasts is a fun story that Stephanie Young has created. However, due to a lot of characters you will meet (some even for a short moment), sometimes that can make things a smidgen confusing.

I said to myself this weekend: What did I do to log myself out of my Simon and Schuster account of free ebooks?
