Willow WaxCraft While other candle melt shops may pour a single note of cotton candy into their products, stick a spooky sounding name on a fancy label and then ship it out weeks later. Willow WaxCraft dares to go outside of the box and offer blended notes of barn wood, murky water, death lilies, champagne, aged tobacco etc. which all pay creative homage to different themes that are then shipped out insanely fast, presented beautifully AND smell as promised! Imagine that! That's all why I return to this wonderful shop and this time the Falloween collection needed to come home to me. As always the packaging was beyond lovely (the exotic candy and free sample greatly appreciated) and my favourites out of the bunch were Unmask!, Ulalume's Tomb *see review here, and 7 Days Thank you Samantha for thinking and going outside the box. Unmask! (Described as: "A polished roque mallet, aged wood and vanilla, hearth embers, pine, evergreen topiary animals, rich merlot, and sparkling champagne. Great party, isn’t it?!") *Now available in the General Catalogue Willow WaxCraft promised a scene from an iconic horror novel and they delivered with Unmask! Walking into my bedroom is like entering a historic New Year's Eve party set in the mountains and I can detect every note. The fresh cut boughs of an evergreen greet me first followed by a wisp of smoke and bubbly champagne. The more I stand in the doorway I expect to hear music from Glenn Miller fill the air or to find a pile of confetti at my feet, the sweet wine and wood notes slowly appear next pulling me into another world and the vanilla and embers are a nice departing combination. Unmask! definitely creates an atmosphere I don't want to leave and I'm so happy it has joined the general catalogue. It's my personal favourite from this enchanting shop. 7 Days (Described as: "A dusty barn, decaying wood and hay, an ancient stone well, dark water, burning leaves, and videotape. She never sleeps.") *Limited Seasonal Edition This shop truely excels at going completely outside the box with their listed notes and 7 Days is one melt you just have to experience to get the full effect. For me, each time I open my bedroom door I'm taken back to my grandmother's ancient barn and staring into inky darkness. That dusty barn description is dead on as well as the stone well and hay. I don't get any smoke, leaves or that distinct odd scent of used video tapes I somehow remember but if you want a creepy abandoned barn with stone walls and a prickling sense of something dark in the water, get 7 Days and be prepared for a scent journey. Victorian Smoking Room (Described as: "Where the menfolk retreat into a cloud of smoke and congratulate themselves on being masters of the universe…dark wood panels, tall shelves of worldly literature, opulent leather armchairs, and velvet, velvet everywhere. Black pepper, patchouli, vetiver, sweet tobacco and pipe smoke with hints of cherry and vanilla, rich bourbon, and deep brown sugar.") *Available in the General Catalogue How could I resist a clever hidden little reference to one of my favorite movies in the description but alas Victorian Smoking Room gives me a bad headache and I can't be in a room more than a few minutes at a time when it is melting. I was hoping for more tobacco and either the bourbon or the heavy leather accord just doesn't make my heart go on (sorry, sorry couldn't resist), a rare miss with this fabulous shop. Oh well, can't win them all. Pumpkin Latte (Described as: "It’s officially the season of that omnipresent autumnal coffee drink- sweet pumpkin, rich coffee, fall spices (cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and clove), all topped with mounds of whipped cream and drizzled with caramel. Cozy up.") *a free sample that appeared in my order, thank you so much Willow WaxCraft! *Limited Seasonal Edition Even though I can't drink heavily caffeinated beverages I still enjoy smelling them and Pumpkin Latte is true to life with a spicy creamy combination that fills an entire room and upstairs with one delicious pumpkin aroma. The coffee note is dark as promised but lightened with the whipped cream and spices that call for just one more sniff before leaving for the night. It almost reminds me of Liber Arcana without the leather note. A true fall staple that I need to get a full clamshell of eventually. As soon, as I saw the winter collection I had to try several and the sampler was the perfect option for that desire. My package arrived lightning fast and was presented in such a pretty fashion (I love the new willow vine ribbon choice). Upon opening the carefully packed parcel, I could immediately smell something divine waiting and I couldn't decide if that was exactly Whoopie, a Zeppelin! or The Christmas Tree Emporium of the Midwest (turns out it was a heavenly mashup of both). Each scent shot was nicely sized and the stand out favourites were The Long Night, The Christmas Tree Emporium of the Midwest and Breathe Before You Leave. The Long Night (Described as: "A warm light in the darkness of Winter Solstice: Balsam fir, sacred frankincense and myrrh, beeswax candles, sweet oud, blood orange, clove, cinnamon leaf, and vanilla") *Available in the General Catalogue As the snow swirled and blew this past winter, I found The Long Night was exactly what I needed to melt the frosty winter blues that always arrives with the howling winds and pelting ice. Right away, the realistic pine pulls me away from the outside world and when the familiar frankincense, myrrh with spicy bright orange appears it all transforms my bedroom into a much needed sanctuary and just makes my senses glow with memories of once happy holidays and cherished visions. I can't help but smile as this candle melt holds a very special fragrance combination for me. I'm so thankful it can be found in the general catalogue listing now; it's so lovely and a comforting treasure (I wish there was a perfume oil that could match these notes; it's perfect in my book). Whoopie, a Zeppelin! (Described as: "Plunge into the cornucopia! The scent of sugarplums, tart pomegranate, cinnamon glazed doughnuts, gingerbread, a swig of a buttered hot toddy, and unbridled avarice".) *Limited Seasonal Edition This was one of the first fragrances to catch my attention as the fruit notes are dominant with a tangy sweetness that fills a whole upstairs and lingers in the air after the wax warmer is turned off for the night. It is indeed the smell of holiday delights with a swig of something extra to warm you up and if you love lightly spiced plum or pomegranate join me in keeping an eye out for this creation's hopeful return next winter. The Christmas Tree Emporium of the Midwest (Described as: "Take a trip to the lot and find that one glorious tree (not one where all the needles fall off). A variety of evergreens, mistletoe, hot cocoa, roasted chestnuts, and a whisper of gasoline and motor oil.) *Limited Seasonal Edition I realize not every winter creation from this release could make it to the general catalogue but I really wish The Christmas Tree Emporium of the Midwest could have made the cut because my bedroom is delicious realistic smelling cocoa, evergreens and yes even carries a spot of motor oil that hangs in the air. It's simply marvellous! Overall, a brilliant mixture that captures an iconic scene from my favorite Christmas movie and reminds me of driving around looking at twinkling lights and themed displays so long ago. A definite repurchase for me and one to recommend. Lost on the Moor (Described as: "The haunting, chilling scent of the wild Yorkshire moor-heather, lavender, moss, chamomile, ozone, juniper and elderflower.") *Available in the General Catalogue Please allow me to interrupt this humble review with my favourite quote from this classic (or pretty much from any work I ever picked up): "Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad!" [Sigh] Now that's a book and even though Lost on the Moor is described as haunting and chilling for me this was the fragrance I melted when I was desperately seeking spring this past winter. Saying that, I will admit this melt was more fresh and bright (even a touch soapy) than I was desiring but the more time I spent in its company, the more I oddly liked it and was drawn to it. In the end, Lost on the Moor definitely brings to mind warm spring sunshine on a green landscape where one can clear their mind and be half-savage and hardy, and free again. I do believe I need a clamshell pack of this. Breathe Before You Leave (Described as: "I was given this mantra to repeat to myself during a particularly stressful time in my life. So often we rush out in the morning without taking a moment to compose ourselves, and it sets a frazzled tone for the entire day. He told me, “slow down, and breathe before you leave.” Juicy pear combined with bright and zesty yuzu, lemon verbena, ginseng, and cleansing sage, grounded with hibiscus tea. Breathe deep.") *a free sample nestled among my scent shots and exotic candy, thank you Willow WaxCraft, you know how to spoil us! *Available in the General Catalogue This sparkly square appeared in my order and it is one uplifting tart citrus blend that wakes my senses and pulls my nose toward my upstairs (it has an impressive throw when I open the door). I can clearly smell the lemon verbena, ginseng and bright fruits (it is almost an effervescent scent but with a hint of spice) even where I sit typing and just like Lost on the Moor it reminds me of warm spring sunshine. Perfect for this time of the year when nature can't decide if it's 60 degrees or 14 degrees with dangerous ice and everything is brown or gray. I need to order a full clamshell as I want Breathe Before You Leave (so aptly named) throughout my home (or in my car) the entire year round. Willow WaxCraft Alkemia Perfumes Full Bottles: Yule Alchemy 2018 Pear Alchemy Samples: Gothique Forest Patchouli Kāmavaśya Misdeeds After Midnight NSFW Oudh Arboreal Promises by Candlelight Ambre Extrait Madam X Green Carnation Combined Thoughts: These vials and bottles have been peacefully aging and waiting for the day to be shared. Some are from limited collections, have been discontinued or are on sale now. One Note at a Time: Yule Alchemy 2018 (Listed Notes: Boozy fruitcake, crushed pine needles, biscotti, and spiced amber) *a special seasonal treat I found nestled among my one order, thank you Alkemia, you are the best! In the bottle: CHRISTMAS TABLE DESSERTS and strewn PINE NEEDLES Applied: The rich cake with biscotti notes are the first to get my full attention then a classic calming pine comes forward to captivate my senses and take me away to happier times. It's a gourmand with a trace of earthiness to treasure. As Yule Alchemy 2018 dries down the spiced amber is the dominant note that stays with me for hours and eventually turns to lovely powder with a hint of fruit-laced spice to keep things interesting. I need to wear this oil more often, this is exactly how you celebrate the season. Pear Alchemy (Listed Notes: Spiced Bartlett pears, white amber, green cardamon, and ?) *a surprise bottle with one order, thank you so much Alkemia! In the bottle: Golden PEARS drizzled with CARAMEL and AMBER. It's warm and completely enticing. I could sniff the bottle all day and night. Applied: I want to say this smells like bubbly pear champagne sprinkled with spice but I don't think that exists, it is a whole new kind of exquisite and fancy smelling but alas this oil only lasts so long on my skin (2 to 3 hours tops) which is very rare for me when it comes to Alkemia. I've had better luck brushing Pear Alchemy into my hair as it surrounds me with the most gorgeous halo of regal pear and spiced creamy amber that lasts until the next morning. Gothique (Listed Notes: Somalian frankincense, styrax benzoin, Arabian myrrh, cassia, spikenard, canella, Liquidambar orientalis, labdanum, Atlas cedar, and vetiver) In the vial: SWEET MYRRH, FRANKINCENSE and something akin to GINGER SMOKE, it reminds me of a combination of the opening of Darkness Shining in Brightness and Falling Stars on Winter Solstice. Applied: sigh...my kingdom for a dark woody smoky frankincense in perfume or candle melt form. This was the vial I was anticipating from the Yule release and sadly Gothique isn't THE ONE for me but it is still very close in some ways and exceedingly lovely all the same. I believe the myrrh is what is pulling as sparkly golden or even effervescent on my skin and I'm getting faint traces of smoke from a swinging metal thurible but it's not the scent of nights before and after Holy Supper I remember (I hope it is exactly that for someone else though). My search continues. In regards to this vial, I still plan to keep it as Gothique reminds me quite of bit of Darkness Shining in Brightness which is one of my favourite perfumes and since that particular creation is currently marked to be discontinued Gothique may stand in with its recognizable inspiration and calming resiny sweetness. Forest Patchouli (Listed Notes: Siberian pine, balsam fir, mistletoe, iron distilled patchouli and fire cured spices) In the vial: Soft FIR branches, ORANGE and EARTH. It smells like an expensive living rustic Christmas wreath. Applied: On opening a distinct orange note entwines with a freshly cut pine bough and I'm one happy lady walking around with an aura of citrus and camphorous forest. The spice eventually peeks out along with a familiar metal encrusted dirt accord I recognize from the general catalogue then oddly enough this dries down to what I can only call vintage Old Spice with a drop of citrus. Completely unexpected and I would dearly love to smell this fragrance on a man's collar...still one happy lady but now looking for a fella to pou...I mean dab this on, hehe. I'll be saving this for a special day along with: Salem, Lycanthrope, Warm Leatherette, Foxcroft, Stag Moon and Three Treasures. Kāmavaśya (Private Reserve) (Listed Notes: Leather infused dark amber, botanical pheromones, cumin, nutmeg, ambergris, tobacco, vanilla musk, grains of paradise, and civette (cruelty-free civet)). In the vial: *takes a moment* I do believe we have another fragrance to join the "someday collection". Ahem, take me away now! Applied: In 2017 Alkemia unveiled Darkness Shining in Brightness which for me conjured a story of a distinguished Edwardian tea that ended behind closed boudoir doors, now in 2018 I am taken outside space and time with a seductive leather and mysterious caramel concoction that makes me huff my arm and tempts me to go put on the pink and black garter I received in my Bordello Box from Strange Fire & Fumery. Whew! This is unlike anything in my collection and it sort of scares me how much I like it to be honest, haha! It's feral, dirty, primal and not meant for innocent play. I would never wear Kāmavaśya in the workplace setting but this certainly is a welcome confidence boost. Leave it to Alkemia to release something so untamed and adventurous during the holidays (I can't wait to see what Sharra has in store for 2019). Misdeeds After Midnight (Listed Notes: Coffee liqueur, white rum, creme de bergamot, Black Forest raspberries, salted caramel, Arabian rosewater, vetiver root, vanilla musk and golden amber) In the vial: COFFEE LIQUEUR and SALTED FRUIT, here's another fragrance I don't have anything similar to in my collection. Applied: This yule collection features quite a few curious pairings with caramel and Misdeeds After Midnight continues that theme with a luscious salted caramel note swirled under smooth coffee liqueur, rosewater and tart raspberries (I amp caramel so it's the most prominent note as the oil dries); it smells good enough to drink. It's absolutely dreamy but almost a little too much for me as a tiny dab is all I need of this oil. Misdeeds After Midnight is definitely a delicious and cosy scent potion that keeps my nose down to my arm (and dangerously close to Kāmavaśya) which sweeps me away to a sophisticated cocktail bar long after hours and in front of a lone violinist playing his tortured soul out to an empty room (are there violins at a cocktail bar? I've never been to one but that's what I would imagine there to be, so let's go with it). A definite favourite out of this release and a keeper. NSFW (Described as: "A libidinous yet delicate vintage style musk blend for all genders. Suggestively alluring with a flirtatious wink of naughty".) In the vial: I want to say fluffy SOAP BUBBLES but it's so much more than that. It smells fresh and clean but nothing like laundry. Applied: I never knew I could fall for a crisp "musk" that has intriguing nuances of creamy fresh powder and a hint of underlying spice but I have! Atleast, I think this is musk I'm smelling as I am still training my nose (it sort of smells warm). In any case, true to its description NSFW is also undoubtedly delicate, unobtrusive but somehow magnetic (very similar to Luminae and Enigma in ways but not sweet nor carries that nifty "flickering" candlelit butter effect and impression on my skin like in Luminae but as it dries down it does have a wisp of Enigma's cedar note) and I think I just turned to another chapter for my collection and fragrance preference (especially for the workplace). NSFW is quite impressive overall. Oudh Arboreal (Private Reserve) (Listed Notes: Piñon and Siberian pine needles, heartwood, black oudh, bois de rose, anthoxanthum, smoked orange peel, dark ambergris, Andalusian rock rose, agarwood, cardamon, tolu balsam, tonka and 10 year aged black patchouli.) In the vial: AGARWOOD and MINT. It's not for the meek. Applied: I know this perfume was a runaway smash on ETSY but this vial has not been kind to my head and of course, it lasts almost 2 days on my skin, so there's that. It has a distinct high-end vintage quality that I could see appealing to others but unfortunately, it's not for me although I really wish it would be. I honestly can't identify a single note which proves I'm not ready for this level of master perfumery and will never be welcome in other groups on the web or in certain shops. Perhaps it just needs a long rest and I will brave Oudh Arboreal again next winter. Promises by Candlelight (Listed Notes: Amaretto liqueur, Madagascar vanilla beans, yuzu, quince, Monoi Tiare and white amber) In the vial: A fancy ALMOND DESSERT with tropical FLORAL accents. Think the night island version of The Great British Bake Off. Applied: Mmm...Golden caramel again and it's paired with almond, amber, vanilla and dainty flowers this round. As it dries down the amber appears at the forefront of the other notes and something buttery as well. Unfortunately, Promises by Candlelight doesn't last past a few hours on me but I still love this vial. I also adore the name (I know silly but it's true) and found this is one fantastic oil to wear before going to bed. Sweet decadent pleasant dreams await. Ambre Extrait *100% Natural Perfume Oil (Listed Notes: North African Rock Rose, Cambodian Agarwood, Prussian Amber resin, Madagascar Vanilla, Nepalese Spikenard, Somalian Opopanax, Tunisian Liquidambar, Himalayan Cedar, and Honduran Styrax) In the vial: POLISHED CHURCH PEWS, my great uncle's WOOD SHOP, INTRICATE WOOD SCULPTURES at the autumn festival, unexplored ATTIC/CRAWL spaces and EUROPEAN CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS. It's a beautiful ode to all the greatest warm comforting wood scents I have ever experienced. Applied: This oil is definitely a crown jewel find and I would love to own a bottle. On me, there is a sweetness to the wood accords and something akin to aged paper with citrus and butter that catches my full attention and hours later I smell a romantic vanilla with an earthy undertone. For some reason, I want to wear this perfume for Easter. Ambre Extrait would be fascinating to layer with perhaps Smoke & Mirrors or my single note of orange blossom I acquired from LittleBits. This is without a doubt a treasured vial and I will be saving it for special occasions and report back if I discover any nifty combinations. Madam X (Listed Notes: Bergamot, mandarin, dark violet, Italian iris, black orchid, Japanese incense, orris root, sueded musk, white sandalwood, Tahitian vanilla, and pale patchouli) In the vial: VIOLETS and TEA? That must be BERGAMOT I'm detecting. Lovely as its inspiration. Applied: Of course the violets hold sway over all (curse you, skin chemistry) and I can't really identify any other scent, there may be the mandarin and bergamot trying valiantly to come forward if I take my time to concentrate but it's a strong floral amping at the moment. Surprisingly Madam X is not giving me a headache or is an example of how sharp violets can be (shudders when thinks about Hydromancy), no this is soft, pretty and inviting. I also love that Madam X is vintage in a certain way and I'll be wearing this perfume to special historical events. This will go into my Gilded Age or Old New York part of my collection, I could see Consuelo Vanderbilt Balsan or my old friend Lily Bart wearing this perfume. Green Carnation (Listed Notes: Carnations, dianthus, absinthe, green patchouli, and bay rum) In the vial: ABSINTHE, RUM and something resembling HAY in summer? Maybe it is just me being homesick but this smells like a horse barn in the best possible way. Applied: The horse barn with sweet fresh hay quality of this oil lingers for a few minutes then Green Carnation morphs to velvety plush carnations and anise or fennel from the absinthe. The green fairy is strong in the Green Carnation and it unexpectedly satisfies my craving for that distinct note. An hour in and the rum is tangling with the patchouli and spicy dianthus, here is another for my collection as Green Carnation is a clear keeper and I'm going to leave a reminder for myself to pick this fragrance up for next St. Patrick's Day to wear. Ultimately, I can easily see why this perfume is so popular, it's a unique unisex blend with interesting florals aspects and a kiss of the green fairy. Alkemia Perfumes For the love of a king and the Affair of the Poisons Inspired by events straight from the annals of strange crimes comes Charlatan a fictionalized version of the 17th-century murder scandal that involved the elite and powerful seeking an unnatural advantage in disposing of rivals of the court and the marriage bed. Not exactly a feel-good book as you could imagine with the pulverized toads, twisted black mass priests and stomach cramping powders found in clothing and wine goblets, so take warning this tale has some graphic details to share that may disturb some however for others, they may not be able to turn the pages fast enough. Entertaining overall, this story commands attention and paints some vivid scenes but for me, some of the finer things were just off. The presented characterization would have to be my main disappointment, various infamous personalities (mainly Françoise Athénaïs de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Marquise of Montespan) were either subdued to point of being dull or outlandish caricatures; I would have also really preferred more chapters featuring the Madame de Montespan with the Sun King and less about the predictable forced romance that appeared in the other chapters. The jarring modern-sounding dialogue was another negative and sadly the richness of the setting didn't quite saturate into the rest of the story. Is Charlatan, Druon territory of historical fiction? Most certainly not but it served as a decent rainy day read and may nudge someone out there in the direction of available shelves to learn more about L'affaire des poisons. -read and purchased on kindle EGP/September 2018 I just wanted to take a moment and thank UniversalZone for creating this lovely one of kind shawl for my dear great-aunt who taught me to appreciate literature in all forms and to always have a book in my hand or in my purse. I couldn't have asked for a better present for her and she was over the moon with it. Highly recommend UniversalZone in every way possible way. They understand and cater brilliantly to lovers of the classics! After making an initial enquiry if a custom of Anna Karenina was possible I was answered with a friendly and professional response from the owner within the hour and several detailed questions and triple checks later to see if I was completely satisfied before purchasing (they even researched alternative artwork from the first edition of this novel, sent me photographs of the finished scarf AND did it all in the shade of green my aunt wears the most) this amazing shop fashioned and shipped out (in one day) one fantastic Christmas gift that I don't think I'll be able to top this year or in the years to come. One Note at a Time: Necromancy *from the General Catalogue (Notes: Datura metel, ceremonial incense, funeral flowers, benzoin resin, ancient spirit boards, oud) If there ever was a Victorian or Edwardian Ghost scent out in the indie fragrance world to collect and cherish for myself Necromancy is definitely it as this creation creates visions of waltzing spirits, elaborate final ceremonies and tragic romance tales for the ages. In the bottle, this scent potion is a bit deceiving with incense, resin and a curious floral peeking behind everything and you may call Necromancy "pretty" at this point of time but once applied the captivating element of this perfume is released with a creamy narcotic floral (with a trace of vanilla and a drop of sweet dragon's blood) leading the way to another place and time then it all makes sense why Necromancy has graced the pages of a popular fashion forward magazine and comes highly recommended in certain circles. In regards to the general public's opinion concerning this oil, it's a clear winner (especially in the professional work setting) and acts like a billboard to stunning scent artistry to be found within the realm of indie perfumes. This is a true Holy Grail fragrance for me. Brava Claire! One Good Scare *limited edition that was brought back as part of the Halloween Favorites collection 2018 (Notes: Glowing jack-o-lanterns, charred marshmallows, roasted pumpkin seeds, falling leaves, campfire smoke) I've shared quite a bit about the strangely beautiful and elegant part of my perfume collection but really haven't written much about the fun playful corner so for a double feature about my favourite perfumes, I have to gush about One Good Scare as this is one (if not the best) morphing atmospheric gourmands I currently own and I just want to pour the bottle over my head while singing my own version of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" (how about "Pour Some Pumpkin On Me" and yes I whip my hair to the thumping chords in my head). I'm sticky creepy sweet from my head to my feet when I wear this scent confection and I love every second! One Good Scare opens with a realistic campfire smoke that then changes to frost-laced dead leaves with pumpkin flesh to nutty pumpkin seeds and dries down to a crave-worthy confection of marshmallow (and perhaps warm sandalwood?) that remains all day. It paints a scene straight from the silver screen of classic horror (accompanied by a little rock and metal music for good measure) and I couldn't be more pleased (this is also one perfume I'm not afraid to approach someone with and say either "Behold Halloween!" or "Smell Me!") I can't recommend this one enough. Sixteen92 14th-century Scourges, Saint's whiskers, howling wolves and swans- this is how you keep me reading When it comes to dredging the dark reaches of Europe during the 12th to 16th century, no better wicked guide can found for this intrepid reader than Ms Maitland and her fantastic imagination and way with a presenting a complex enigma. With a wave of her pen, the beginning of human paranoia and fascinating superstitions appear in an opening scene that immediately transports me back to uncertain and evil times where innocence is beyond lost. It sets the tone perfectly for what is to come as the strands of a mystery slowly twist around 9 souls fleeing a deadly scourge they cannot see and journey forth to possible salvation or utter ruin. The shared details along this trek are quite impressive overall and as the world burns and collapses upon itself, faith, love and credibility are tested for those all invested in this story. In truth, it may become obvious at certain crucial points what final secrets will be evenually revealed but don't let that stop the pages to turn on Company of Liars as the writing is sharp and never overly graphic regarding different subjects (so hushabye gentle reader and come closer to learn about The Great Mortality). On that last note, specific chapters within this novel have an additional special purpose to enlighten and encourage further study on its shared topics and it honestly becomes difficult to pull the lamp chain for the night or fight the urge to read just one more passage (or even not scratch at an imaginary flea bite). Without giving away any more, just wait and see what this tale has in store for the curious reader and harbours for its Company of Liars; you won't forget this one. -read and purchased on kindle EGP/October 2018 (re-read) |
