I've been an avid reader of your forums for a while now and thought I should contribute!!

I was bought a book for Xmas I have just finished and wanted to share with you all. The first installment of a trilogy named "Satanic Revels" by Veronica Liddlelow. A great page-turner!!

Anyone else read it?
