Reviews

[Caroline B · Rating 5 out of 5]

If this is Isabel Bercaw's debut novel, then I will be impatiently waiting and begging for her next work. Swan Song has every quality you want in a book from sizzling romance and witty dialogue to plot twists that will leave you with the most intense book hangover. Believe me, I'm still recovering. This beautifully captivating story is a one-of-a-kind experience and offers a powerful lesson about hope.
