The Trouble With Fate
Found in the wild in San Antonio, TX, The Trouble With Fate, a new novel by Leigh Evans.
The clever log line says, “Meet Hedi Peacock. She’s half Fae. Half Were. And all Trouble…”
I took Hedi home.
I couldn’t put the book down. Hedi’s adventures kept me up all weekend!
New York Times best-selling author Darynda Jones says, “What a delicious read! Chock-full of fun twists and sexy diversions, one of them named Robson. Leigh Evans is definitely one to watch. Get this book! You will not be disappointed!”
The Trouble With Fate is published by St. Martin’s. It’s available at Amazon, click here. And Barnes and Noble, click here. Go. Buy. It. Now.
