A review by booksandladders
Oak and Mistletoe by J.Z.N. McCauley
Did not finish book.
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
DNF @ 6%
I had to force myself to get here to be honest. The sentences were choppy. They gave us information like this. So that we could see everything in small sentences. Rather than in one that would explain everything and flow nicely. As well, the situation just didn't make sense to me. Why did the uncle randomly tell Catherine about magic? There was no prior mention of it and then he was just killed off with no real build up or tension to it. The dialogue was so stilted and I couldn't ever see me having a conversation that way. I was reading it aloud to Dani while we were skyping and it sounded so fake. I really wanted to enjoy this one because it is new adult AND fantasy, but I honestly cannot subject myself to any more of it.
