I really tried to get into this one, but I just couldn't. Dnfing at around 25%. The writing style just is not for me.

The writing style of this author was very confusing. It just made getting into the story really difficult, it was often jarring at times the way she would try to write as if it was ancient, but it’s all very modern and then bouncing back-and-forth between past, present,  and podcast/newspapers. Then to top it all off, the plot itself felt like it was like a second in the series, I felt like I was missing a whole bunch of pieces to the plot.

* Received copy for review.*
I loved the concept behind this book. However the timelines were confusing and all the characters were flat.

I just finished the lost witch by Paige Crutcher and here is my review….

It’s 1922 and Evermore is under the protection of the Goddess and Brigid Heron, who is in her favor, works to heal the villagers when the need arises. The witches of the Knight swear no fealty to the Goddess and want to harness the powers from the lake of dreams.
The only thing Brigid wants is a child but her Goddess won’t fulfill her wish…. One dau Luc Knightly, God of trickery comes to her with a proposition. One that changes the course of Brigid’s life….

Present day and Evermore is under siege and 2 of Brigids descendents call forth Brigid to help keep the monsters at bay. With no memory of how she got to the future, Brigid must work with the 2 witches and the God she can barely remember to seal the Lough and protect the island… But sealing it will come at a devastating cost… The life of her beloved daughter.

The title of this book really hooked me so I was super excited to get started. This book did not disappoint. Loved the characters, all of them. The development of them all was so well done and I found the chemistry between Brigid and Luc so complicated and beautiful. Luc was so misunderstood and watching him try and redeem himself was such a pleasure.

Amazing concept and executed with such skill that I will definitely keep an eye out for more from this author. Everything was wrapped up perfectly, with such flourish, I felt engaged from the start and gripped until the very end.

If you enjoy books in the fantasy romance genre, then add this one to your list. 4 stars

Out today! Thank you st Martin's Press and netgalley for my review copy!
