What we're reading in TLS this week:

One thing we can all agree upon, is that a bad-ass Edward makes for an intriguing story. Something to sink your teeth into. We’ve compiled a list of recs that have a collection of strong, assertive, and yes, bad-ass Edwards (and quite possibly Bellas) for you to enjoy. Some stories are old, some stories are new, but in case you need a recap-dive in with us below. We hope that you enjoy these stories just as much as we do! As always, leave the writers some love and let them know TLS sent you!
