Title: Malicious Mates
Mates come and go but demons are forever. Millennials throw their first punch in this darkly satirical novel from down under.
--Abigail's Targeted Tip:
Do not just copy and paste descriptions for each solo book to cobble into a box set blurb. Readers for book two’s solo blurb likely have already read book one. Not true for potential readers of your box set.
