I wish I could read all the books, but occasionally a new series slips by. Therefore, rather than reviewing the book, I decided to instead highlight the entire series. Put a spotlight on a book whose covers immediately captured my attention. Doesn't the premise just grab at you? If you've already read this series, please feel free to share your thoughts in a comment. I'd also like to send a big thank you to Banholzer PR for bringing this promising, exciting series to my attention.
