Richelle Mead, Frostbite“He'd barely seen me coming, and despite the horribleness of what I'd just done, I kind of wished one of my instructors had been there to grade me on such an awesome performance.”
Richelle Mead, Frostbite“This isn't a Christmas special! This is my life. In the real world, miracles and goodness just don't happen.”
