No, I’m left without words because despite all the raving I’ve done to everyone (in person and online) about Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance, I didn’t finish my review of it! How did this happen? This is one of my favorite books of 2017. Read on to learn why!

This is a book to be read any time of year. Curious? Read on! Confession time: with the chaos of Christmas, I got behind on some of my reading and this book sadly was put by…
