Light's Book HeavenThere are certainly plenty of parts of the story where Sarah Marie Graye displays an accurate and piercing acerbic wit that had me chuckling along at the protagonist. - Readers' FavoriteThe writing is crisp and clean, and Graye is an unquestionably gifted author. - Please Pass the BooksThe first thing you need to know about this series is that it is like the film festival version of books.
