His path was never meant to cross with Lou’s, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.… Read More Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin (Review)

Kat Cho’s debut, Wicked Fox, was one of my most-anticipated releases of this year! I’ve actually been following along with the book’s journey on Twitter since last year and still remember when it was titled Gumiho instead of Wicked Fox!
