Terry Green is the second book in the Olivia Lawson Techno-Shaman series. What is a ‘techno-shaman’, you may ask? Good question!

Katana by Cole Gibson
Title: Katana Author: Cole Gibson Genre: YA/Romance/Sci-Fi/Drama Release Date: March 8, 2012 Rating: ★★★★ Review: I like to be completely honest in my reviews and with this book, keeping it honest, completely took me by surprise.
