Promise: A Tale of Sisterhood, Secrets, and the Shadows of Destiny (Heir of Lilith)
by Beth Ball (Goodreads Author) |

| I normally don’t read fantasy, but this was a book club choice. It is a novella, so I could say it was short and sweet. Only, it wasn’t short and sweet. It’s filled with violence, treachery, and murder. A fast-paced action-adventure story involving o ...more | |
