5/5 Stairs. Recipe for a perfect December day: Take one comfy chair, add a cozy blanket, a liberal mug of hot cocoa, and top them off with a copy of Seeds of Revenge.

Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies. Heartbreaking, but what a story of love.

September 11, 2017September 11, 2017 / beckmank / 7 Comments

5/5 Stairs. This story is heartbreaking. Funny. Sad. Honest. Endearing. Intense. Real. But most of all, full of love.

3/5 Stairs. The characters and setting were excellent, but for me the mystery on this second outing fell flat.
