These bitches gay. Good for them. Good for them. Enfin là non. 

J’avais beaucoup aimé Aaron dans Something is Killing the Children alors un prequel centré sur lui? Je dis oui. Et j’ai vraiment beaucoup aimé. J’adore ce personnage et sa complexité au niveau de sa vie et de ses émotions. 

Bref hâte de lire la suite qui sort ce mois-ci

The way they blurred the two time lines made this way more confusing than it needed to be. And trying to cover so much ground in one volume left a lot lacking. I liked getting to learn more about the order but it was too much to pack in so little time.
