Kristin Jacques and 2 other people liked May Freighter's review of A Bargain of Blood and Gold (Midnight Guardians #1): "Absolutely love Kristin's storytelling and style. The descriptions are vivid, the paranormal world is grim, mysterious, and ready to swallow you whole, and the characters have dark pasts awaiting to be uncovered. Fantastic read."

Kristin’s Quotes

“The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can’t fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar.”
― Groucho Marx

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 5: A Game of You
