Review for Rips in the Weave
What I like about a good fantasy is that you concentrate on the characters and the storyline. That concentration transports you from your current state of mind, to a place of wonder. Instead of thinking of your long day at work, your pile of unpaid bills or your sore toe – you think of a story that twists and turns. It’s always a pleasure to visit the cast and characters by Rachelle and John, in their ‘Dime Store Novel’ series. This one was a sweet read. I enjoy a good series of books…so I can get to know the characters and the surroundings and watch how the story unfolds with each new release. Thanks for the evening of fun! francy Dickinson @mysterycozy
