There is plenty more I could have mentioned, such as Rebecca Lim’s Mercy quartet, though that perhaps belongs more to the sub-genre of angels.

As an adult, I did appreciate the new spin! Not sure who liked it at my school. <br /><br />Hi Hilary! No, I haven’t come across Jacqui’s posts, thanks, I’ll check it out. I am sure the library staff will be delighted to be pestered by you! As a librarian myself I love to have library users ask for books. If they don’t have them, they will get them in for you.
