This is something very different that I share my thoughts aka notes that I took while I was reading Wicked Beast by Shelley Leigh Crane.

Review is here

Pretty much things I wrote when I highlight certain passages.

Warning some of the passages can be spoilers

The Italics are my thoughts.

The highlights parts in green are not my words which belong to the author and I claim no copyright over them.

Enjoy!

As you can tell I had a grand old time with this book..
