  9. Dolapo Folorunso so hard to pick a book cause I have read a lot of great books this year including your coillde series amazing couldn't put it down. And I am really sad that I have to say goodbye to Sherry and Merrick and I wouldn't forget little Lily and Hope. Okay fave book of the year will probably have to be dark secrets series by A.M Hudson

  10. Breaking The Nexus by Lindsay Avalon~The Gathering, Book one of The Lia Fail chronicles was not published in 2012, but I absolutely loved it. I have Airicka's book Touching Smoke on my Kindle and I can't wait to read it. There are so many more amazing authors. I love being a reviewer and am excited to read your books this year also.
