Great great series.

If you read this one you won’t stop there ! You will keep on going with the series!

Couldn’t wait to read the next book

Starts slow but a fantastic book. What a wonderful ride. Informative and oh so entertaining. A great story that once it gets going just keeps moving faster. I admire you for being about to read this for the first time.
