A review by intoastory
The Gates of Evangeline by Hester Young

3.0

This was okay. Southern Gothics are a favorite of mine, so I loved the setting, atmosphere and mystery, but then it turned into a cheesy romance.

The main character irritated the hell out of me. She was self-absorbed and child-crazy. She gets with a guy one night and it turns into true love. *vom*

And then there was something about the writing that I HATED. I kept thinking it was badly written, but then I realized maybe it just wasn’t my style. Or both. It kind of had a romance-type feel to it.

Definitely no masterpiece, but I didn’t see the ending coming, even though there were tons of clues, so that was fun.

Entertaining but not enthralling.
