I received "Girl From The Woods" from the author for an honest review.
GFTW is quick and easy read. I do think it's an entertaining read- but let me preface that by saying this is not my preferred genre at all. This was billed as a paranormal romance. I see why, but it hardly kept my interest and wouldn't necessarily classify this as paranormal. Keep in mind I've been on a paranormal/fantasy kick for months now and have been having trouble not comparing books to my favorites.
I don't think this is entirely the fault of the author either- I think it's my age. I would've probably enjoyed this more in high school- not as a 30 year old, divorcee, remarried ex-stepmom. The characters were, however, realistic enough to me. I've definitely met people like this. Angie is okay. I like her sassiness and I think is smart to dish it to underachieving Dante. The premise is fun. But generally speaking I never choose to read books about male leads. Males bore me....to be completely honest. I know that sounds sexist. I love men. Just don't prefer them as the leads....and especially how Dante & his brother are portrayed right off the bat. Let's just say I agree with their parents' decision to leave them. 100%! But Dante does eventually grow to be his age. Anywho, high schoolers/early college ages probably would enjoy this. It's a fun, fast-paced read. Just not really for me.
I gave this a 2 star rating on Goodreads.
For:
-Juniors & seniors in high school
-Early college
