Our goal as Christians is to receive the form of Christ himself, a gift of God’s grace.

It has recently come to my attention that some people have never heard of CreepyPasta. As many of you may know, Reddit is one of the most popular destinations on the Internet for “true” horror stories, as well as CreepyPastas, but it’s not often they get transformed into novels.Īre you new to the Internet?

She obviously had a terrible life before settling in with the Brights at ten years old. The story is told from the point of view of Sky who has been abandoned in a parking lot when she was six years old. I absolutely love being surprised by a book, and this one is no exception. I was hooked from the first chapter and read it in one sitting. I have to admit that when I first received the book, I anticipated not liking it, thinking it would be yet another cliché in the paranormal romance genre. ![]() |
