Review: Myrrh by Polly Hall
I have mixed feelings on this one. On one hand Myrrh kept me absolutely hooked throughout, I found myself staying up late to read just a biiiit more.

On the other hand I felt like the ending fell a little flat, I just wanted things to come together a little more in respects to Myrrh and Cayenne’s stories.
