The NIGHTBIRDS Launch Party

Lovely readers asked us LOTS of great questions about ISLES. In this episode, Amie answers them without holding anything back. She'll dish about everything from what exactly is going on with Leander to some of the story's biggest twists and turns. She might even drop some hints about what you'll find in the sequel (gasp)! Now, if you haven't read the book yet, save this episode for later, because it is full of spoilers. If you have, buckle up and let's pull the curtain back.
