So far it’s gruesome, gripping and exquisitely well written.

The intriguing and unique cover wrapped around Aesop’s Secret by Claudia White is a perfect reflection of the sublime fantasy story inside. Melinda and her brother Felix are likeable and believable characters. I think that everyone who owns a pet rabbit will look at them slightly differently after reading this, and with good reason. You never know what sort of secret a rabbit, or other creatures sharing your life, m
