Freya's Legacy Book 1: Forgotten Memories Review

  Book Source:  Book Siren ARC Review:  Chantie's Goodread Review   When I came upon Forgotten Memories by Cecilia Agetun, I was cruising through facebook. I noticed a post the author Cecilia made, requesting for advanced readers (ARC Readers). For those who have no idea what an ARC reader is it's a person who reads a free copy of a published or to-be published book and give their review on said book. Okay, fast forward to me making the decision to read Forgotten Memories.  I am not a big fan of series. Why? Well, because of all the waiting and stressing over when the next book in the series will be released. That's why. However, I had some free time and had nothing to read.

Authors are welcome to join as well. It's a good platform to get your book noticed. They are amazing.  Okay, w...
