Dark Horse - K. York

Genre: Historical, Romance LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Maryann Get It On Amazon About The Book Daniel Barker’s seizures have made everyday life difficult, and they’re only getting worse. Affording treatment? Not easy when he’s limited in the jobs he can obtain. Body-snatching isn’t his preferred occupation, but with an employer like Henry Glass, he can’t complain.

Dark Horse is a novella and the second in The Resurrectionist series. The Review Daniel Barker survived a traumatic brain injury, which brought on … Read more
