FCF - Hidden Magic, the Eldritch of Hallows by Elana McDougall

FCF - Hidden Magic, the Eldritch of Hallows by Elana McDougall

This book has been sitting in my kindle library for a while, and I know now I need to get it on my TBR for this year. Based on this first chapter, I know this is a book I will enjoy. I'm looking forward to reading more, and getting a review to you! I hope you enjoy! P.S. I won't ever make a good audiobook narrator, as I can't seem to read a book out loud without a couple mistakes. I hope you forgive me. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pickybookworm/support
