New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
Impressions While Reading I had mixed feelings throughout New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. I have come to the conclusion, that I am a Jacob fan.

In Dead Until Dark, Sookie has a “disability” she can read people’s minds making her somewhat of an oddity. This gift excludes the “undead” better known as vampires. This also happens to include her […]
