by M.J. Hearle
This one was interesting - Overall rating would be 3-3.5 stars.The story had me turning the pages and unable to put the book down but there were also a few things that I wish were fleshed out a bit more - mainly the background on The Keys (who they were, how they came to be, and ultimately - why did...
I found the beginning a bit slow, and I will admit there were some parts of the story where I was like Wha?!? and not from the drama or shock over what was going on. More so from how convoluted it all sounded. I felt Hearle did a good good of developing the all the characters, although the connectio...
Winter’s Shadow was a fantastic debut by M.J. Hearle. It had a fresh take on the paranormal genre for YA and although the creatures and the paranormal aspect has links to others, it is separate and unique in itself and like nothing you have read before. It has this Gothic feel to it that you will no...
Come and check out my other reviews at: Addicted to Words | YA and Adult review & MoreI now can admit that I wish I had bought this book earlier than I did. I only got this a few months back, and read it more recently. It definitely exceeded my expectations that I originally had.Onto the plot.Winter...
I’d wanted to read Winter’s Shadow for a while now, when I heard that the Paranormal Wasteland’s blog was doing a blog tour of this book I signed up immediately. Winter has been assigned the task of taking photographs of Pilgrim’s Lament, one of the oldest church buildings in Owl Mountain for the s...
When I started reading this book, I wasn't sure what to expect. I had hope that it would be one of the exceptions in the YA paranormal romance genre but instead it was another example of unoriginal mediocre storytelling. It's as though there is some sort of paint-by-numbers tool for writing romance ...
What starts off as a cliched love story , suddenly takes a mysterious and spooky turn .. Guess that is the best way i can describe this story . Absolutely love the cover , the color combination used ,the picturesque is just breath taking . When i began reading this book it looked like it was just an...
0_o The cover is stunning but also the story seems very interesting. *edit* post-readingMaybe if I was still a sixteen-year-old I would say this book is amazing. Sadly,I'm not 16 and I'm not impressed. Cover and the blurb are to blame and also my high expectations because so many people are saying h...
It starts out in familiar territory: a dark brooding hero and a girl with a sad, sad past are inexplicably drawn to each other. Said romantic hero has a secret and must keep the girl at arms length~ just to keep her safe. It's then interspersed with glimpses into someone's past. Now, between the pre...
I was drawn to the cover of this book. I think it was the red hair that caught my eye. The mystery in the blurb on the back sold me. I was drawn in straight away. I was interested to knowing more about Blake and Winter and liked where it was going, right up until the point of when you start to find ...
