Direwood by Catherine Yu

dark mysterious medium-paced

2.0

Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of this book. Overly repetitive, slow-moving with writing that reminded me of old YA paranormal fantasies. Much of what happened didn't make any sense. The characters were one-dimensional and highly unlikeable. The dialogue and the main character's inner thoughts were senseless at times. And the plot itself felt bland. I just feel like not much happened. The romance also felt very forced. 2 stars because it was a short quick read that wasn't completely awful (the gore was described quite well), but not one I'd recommend for vampire lovers such as myself.
