Y'ALL. Ivy Knight McAllen's not-so-happily-ever-after is FINALLY HERE! Not that any of us were looking forward to Ivy going through more problems and sadness, but c'est la vie.

I'm pretty sure it's obvious by now that I LOVE Kellyn Roth's books - particularly The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy. But y'all. BUT Y'ALL. So far, Beyond Her Calling tops them all!
