Draws you in and you can't stop reading! This was my first taste of Andrea Parnell's writing and I can't wait to continue the story in 'Dark Splendor'! I tried 'Dark Prelude' because it was free and I've definitley added this author to my must read list. You fall in love with her characters even in this short prelude and I'm looking forward to more!
