That took over two months of daily badgering. I think I finally wore that poor report-a-lower-price-associate down. Either way, if you&#8217;ve got a Kindle, you can now partake in free Alanna romance. Still working on it for you Nookies, but should be at Barnes &amp; Noble soon!

I don&#8217;t even remember what made me pick up this avian-shifter book, but I&#8217;m glad I did. I enjoyed the social class commentary, and the ugly-duckling undertone.
