I figured I was better off reading books where there's a really high probability that I'd love them. I'm a little curious about trying Halo now though since you said that Hades gets better. Thanks for the review, Bailey.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150628301376368063.post-86843158711005185522011-08-25T08:34:56.896-07:002011-08-25T08:34:56.896-07:00BTW, the little fairies for rating is precious!BTW, the little fairies for rating is precious!Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150628301376368063.post-72040270210114638962011-08-25T08:34:41.379-07:002011-08-25T08:34:41.379-07:00Better than Halo?

The descriptions of Hell sound interesting, and I'm happy to know you enjoyed it. Still, I really struggle with Angel themed stories. They just don't really work for me. <br /><br />Thanks for the review, B.
