MEMORIES CAN BE DISTORTED AND SO CAN THE TRUTH. All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham was a slow burn with unreliable characters. I loved the moody atmosphere and the tension that continually built throughout until the very end. I was so close to creating a board like Isabelle's to guess who the bad guy… Continue reading All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham
