GLOW

Raven Kennedy – you’ve done it again! You absolutely crushed it with the fourth installment of The Plated Prison Series, Glow. I have to confess, I was a bit anxious at first. The opening half of the book didn’t grip me like Gleam did, but wow, it transformed into a whirlwind of emotion. That first half masterfully explores the strength and love shared among the characters, grounding them so that when the heart-wrenching twists hit, we’re blindsided. By the end, I was sobbing uncontrollably. I can’t wait another second—I’m diving straight into the next book!
