Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia.

    Summer “Beach Reads” Reading Challenge

    Welcome, welcome to the 2010 Summer “Beach Reads” Challenge *throws confetti* I’m sure you’re asking yourself, but Jessica, what exactly is a “beach read”?

Beach reads are what you make them! I’ve been known to take a vampire novel with me to the beach…. vampires and sand? Yes! This challenge is being hosted by myself, Raila of Books Out of the Bookshelves, Linna of…
