Wixumlee Is My Salvation Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I thought this book was a great read. The author created an interesting plot and believable characters. The story line continues from the 1st book, "A Shocking and Unnatural Incident". I can't wait for the next book. This book makes you think what it must have been like for the women that went before us. Their world, their problems, and concerns are so different. I would recommend this book to everyone,
