Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it, and as a parting gift, here are some Polyvore style sheets I made of main character Roxie.
Please check back on Friday, where I'll be taking part in The Cephalopod Coffeehouse Book Club over on my personal blog, and discussing my thoughts on Spook's: Alice (Wardstone Chronicles #12) by Joseph Delaney.
