But when I find a character I love I'm always glad when there are more books written about them. So I can't really choose. Mostly I just love good books. :DLark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-25052305146598553302021-07-09T08:13:06.564-07:002021-07-09T08:13:06.564-07:00They're a little similar...probably the big di...They're a little similar...probably the big difference is that Gentry isn't a vigilante.
