message 14: by Kassie (new)

Kassie Does anyone even know if there really is gonna be The Soul and The Seeker? I haven't been able to find any recent info that she's still writing them. I know originally she thought she might and she already had the idea of where they would go. But is she REALLY writing them? I hope she is, I LOVE The Host!
