Guest Post: The Collector of Dying Breaths (Reincarnationist #6) by M.J. Rose
I recently finished reading and reviewing M.J. Rose’s latest novel, The Collector of Dying Breaths and once again fell under the spell of Rose’s writing style! One of the things that I loved about this novel was the importance of scent and how scent can play such a huge role in our lives and memories. It’s my pleasure to host this guest post from Rose. Below you will find an enticing quote from the book, a rare perfume bottle that could easily have been one in Jac’s own collection, and a quote that inspired Rose to write this bewitching novel!
