I have a confession… an admission of sorts. I LOVE romance… more specifically- YA contemporary romance… erotic romance AND historical romance with lots of smexy goodness thrown in… that’s right, THE Zombie Queen herself- a complete sucker for a good, sappy love story!I’ve wanted to read The Madness ...

I had to flounce this book. It is not that the book is bad, it’s just that 80 pages in I have little to no interest in it.
