The Sin Eater 18: Hand After Hand Part 2
Update. Writing this book has not been easy on me or my family. Two of the Lost Boys have come back. One of them I won’t tell you about. He carries the filth of Aunt Easy and others on him, and he is so disgusted by himself that he laid on the altar for over…
