CONFESSIONS OF A BIBLIOPHILE


"THE ONLY CHILD" Kayte Nunn.. This has to be one of the most powerful, horrifying and yet intriguing stories that I have read in a long time. So many women and young girls discarded by society as

fallen women.. This story has so many twists, just when you think it couldn’t get any worse,  it does…

Kayte Nunn has her readers intrigued from the first page to the last.. 

I received an advance copy  and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
