"But it doesn't mean our hearts don't unravel. It doesn't mean we can't love deeply and painfully and chase after boys who refuse to love us back. But in the end, always in the end, we find a way to shatter whatever hint of love had grown inside us."
People talk about the Walker women. How they have bits of forest in their blood and wisps of air in their hair. How they enchant men and lead them to their doom. They say they are witches. Nora Walker disagrees. All the females before her were more magical than her, and she is the only one who didn't have the power. It flows in her vein, that's for sure, but it never manifested. Or that's what she thinks. Until a certain snowstorm happened where one boy went missing and another one died, this is where her story sets off.
Winterwood is a haunting romance with elements of mystery and fantasy. I found it an easy read giving me a whimsical and atmospheric vibe. While I really liked the tone of the book, I couldn't feel attached to the main characters. I thought the build up to the end could've been done stronger but it was a great story overall.
Winterwood has that hauntingly whimsical feel that I am sure certain readers would immediately fall in love with. It's a great winter read - the sound of crackling logs in the background, a cup of warm cocoa and a piece of matcha donut within reach while snow is gently falling outside. π
