I have mixed feelings on this book. The idea was appealing, I noticed it listed amongst fairytale retellings, but I can't quite figure out what fairytale is being retold. It felt more like an original fairytale on its own. The writing was pretty good, it was very visual, easy to picture the setti...
See this review and others like at my blog Brains and Beauty I loved it! I have to admit that it wasn’t what I was expecting and from reading the other reviews on it I think a lot of people feel the same way.

This novel literally combines some of my favorite story elements and, to my heart's delight, Templeman used them all exceedingly well. I love it when things are set in a small village and the creep factor is high. For some, the first 100 pages could be a bit slow but I found them rather intriguing.T...

Lets just say I expected more of this book.. : Fom the blurb, I expected horror, thriller, mysteries and more. What I get? Well um lets see, drama, drama, more drama and a lot of cheating and romance. : Most of the mystery only happens here and there, the mystery or the deaths aren't even that much ...
Via http://onlectus.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-little-woods-by-mccormick-templeman.htmlTempleman’s The little woods is slow in action but lovely to read. I mean, it is cataloged as a thriller but there is more of Cally going on that the actual mystery. However, the suspense was good enough to keep me ...
I really did not care for this book. I read it for my YA book club and…if it hadn’t been a book club pick, I would have given up at less than 50 pages in. The writing style annoyed me, particularly the fact that the narrator’s dialogue is completely inconsistent with the language used in the narrati...
