My Review

Nightshade by Harleigh Beck

This short story is just what I was craving. It is dark and angsty. It gave me stalker and touch him vibes big time. As if I was not already invested in Marshall and Cruz; Harleigh has to go and leave me with a cliffhanger!

Ooh, Harleigh, it is a good thing I was reading on my computer, or I would have tossed my phone across the room with that cliffhanger. 

Back to Marshall and Cruz. Love that Cruz took the reins and initiated the relationship between these two. Cruz is good for Marshall.
