I haven't finished reading the whole series, but I will eventually. <br />hisprincessdaughter (at) gmail (dot) com<br />PS: I already have Forsaken Dreams by Marylu on my Kindle.

I've read 77 books this year so it's hard to choose just one so honestly the whole series The Gifted by Lisa T Bergren (The Begotten, The Betrayed, & The Blessed). Lisa's River of Time series is wonderful as well - it's in my top 10!! Sorry I couldn't name just 1! (Don't enter me for Andrea Boeshaar's novella-I already have it.) I hope you have a beautiful new year!<br />Kristen<br />kam110476@gmail.com kam110476https://www.blogger.com/profile/01693696612437738986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7124987486481611446.post-63592710844612841602013-12-30T18:50:07.237-05:002013-12-30T18:50:07.237-05:00That sounds excellent.
