All Hallows at Eyre Hall by Luccia Gray: A Review
Originally posted on SaylingAway:
I must be honest and tell you that I am always suspicious of books that are a spin off from a classic read. This time, however, I was completely in the wrong. All Hallows at Eyre Hall kept me tightly bound to my reading of it and constantly entertained with its…
