(originally posted July 23, 2019) I just finished reading the last book in Dana Marie Bell’s Maggie’s Grove series, Hour of the Wolf and wow. Just wow. I’m not talking about just the last book.

Which meant it was old enough it probably had a plain hardback cover originally but I was curious as to what the original paperback one might have been. Okay, that’s more like it but I sill don’t know if that’s the first.
