A very well written, engaging historical novel
Review of In the Shadow of the Past by J.E. Leak In the Shadow of the Past by J. E. Leak is an atmospheric lesbian noir. I think the style and language are more like noir-ish or noir light, but the author inserts plenty of intrigue into the plot. The stunning Kathryn Hammond, she of […]
A good fantasy debut story
