I have to apologize for not being able to post a review for this book before it was archived. Unfortunately, between 2012 and 2021 I had to have 12 surgeries on my low back and neck and spent so much time in the hospital with infections and recovering from surgeries, that I just wasn't mentally, and even sometimes physically, able to put together a review and type it up. I have finally over the past year returned to a somewhat normal life., although I was left with numerous disabilities following all the surgeries, and I'm trying to get back to one of the things I love the most: reading books and reviewing them. So, again, I'm very sorry that I've been out of commission, and I hope you will pass on my regrets to the author.
I had initially marked this book as I will not give feedback, as I requested/DLs in 2012 and upon a review of my netgalley titles I was no longer interested in this title as my reading tastes have changed since then. In trying to improve my netgalley ratio I have learned that titles marked as not giving feedback do not count as a review. So writing this to thank you for the approval but I will not be reading or reviewing at this time. If that changes in the future I will leave a review on instagram, goodreads, storygraph, and amazon.
This will appeal to fans of YA paranormal romances looking for a different kind of mythology.
I like how Silver draws from Celtic mythology. It has many well-worn tropes: the bad boy, the star-crossed romance, the meeting at a house party, the beautiful girl who doesn't know her beauty. I've read enough of these tropes that I want to read something new, but fans of YA paranormal romances will enjoy revisiting these tropes in a book featuring a different kind of mythology.
I didn't get a chance to read this before it expired on my nook. I'm sorry! I do hope to one day buy and read this!
