I'll play. I was going to read this in November, but let's go for it early. I added this book to my TBR primarily because I liked the cover.

I know right , expressly with what happened yesterday here in Charleston WV, the police was at all the Elementary Schools to make sure nonthing happened to the kids, they called the schools and told them to keep the kids in side, some one told the police that at every elementary school there was going to be lots and lots of clowns out side and if they saw any kids outside they was going to hurt them.

that's way I got it, it reminds me of the one from It by Stephen King, as soon as I saw the cover that one part of scene came to me where the clown says when you’re down here with me, you’ll float, too–'

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 616 comments I finished - finally :-) The Escort The Complete Series by Harmony Raines by Harmony Raines 4* for the book set and I'm so glad I got it - the third book is the best and so different from the beginning (and really hot)
