    Six Crimson Cranes is so good, and the second book in the duology was maybe even better! Also those three classics are some of my all time favorites.

    FYI: The black dots on the books are called remainder marks. Books get those when stores have them as overstock or aren’t selling due to slight damage, so they sell them back to the publishers for credit. The publishers then put the remainder marks on the books (to make sure they don’t get returned again for a second credit), and are then sold to discounters (such as Book Outlet) which in turn sell them for cheap prices.

    Yay for Stephen King! I’m a huge SK fan, I have all his books. Holly is so good!! I forget if he talks about her past in “Holly” but she is a recurring character in a few of his books. She was first introduced in his Bill Hodges Trilogy, and then again in the stand-alone The Outsider (highly recommend, it’s crime / horror / mystery type book), and she was in a short story in his novella If It Bleeds. There’s no need to read all of that first, just enjoy Holly tbh, but I wanted to mention it just in case. Also if you ever want to try more Stephen King I’d recommend 11/22/63, Billy Summers, The Institute, Fairy Tale, and then maybe go for some of his older stories if it peaks your interest. I’ll quit yapping now, happy reading!! ✌🏻💛

    I've never read a Stephen King book, yet, but I would go that route. But, that is most likely because I'm not a big romance girly. I can handle a bit, but it is not my go to. I'm currently reading another Jaime Jo Wright book and sometimes I find the romance in those books to be annoying, but then I warm up to it. So, maybe one day I'll warm up to romance books.
