Lily, I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on "Deadtown". I've had that one for a while and haven't read it.

I really like the "Dark Swan" series, hope you enjoy it.

I keep putting it down. It is technically really well written but for some reason I keep putting it down. however, last time it was due to misplacement. It was getting better or maybe the world was starting to come to life. I am going to pick it back up after I finish Vanished.
