Fae Crate Unboxing – Wicked Nothings (Mini Hangover Kit)

There are just some series that we become so passionate about that we probably need some support when the next (or final) book in the series comes out. I definitely did after reading the Queen of Nothing, so I…

FairyLoot Unboxing – Queen of Nothing (Collectors Edition)
