Bridges does a great job of combining Russian aristocracy/history with the paranormal. Katiya's world is a mix of ballets and balls as well as werewolves, blood drinkers, faeries, zombies and magic. The fact that it all takes place in 19th Century Russia is what makes it different. This book picks...
Check out this review on our blog!1.5 STARSREVIEWHonestly, this book didn't do it for me. I've never really been a fan of books that involve a bajillion different characters. I also didn't know that there were a gazillion different ways to call royalty's attention. This book, mainly the plot and cha...

The majority is happy with dancing bears and rivers of vodka. Robin Bridges, on the other hand, I loved!I know a lot of people comp...
