Strange Grace by Tessa Gratton
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Once, a witch made a pact with a devil. The legend says they loved each other, but can the story be trusted at all?
Synopsis: Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man into the depths of the Devil’s Forest.
Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early.
Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mairwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their town—and their hearts—inside out.
My Thoughts: This book had such a great synopsis what with a village making a bargain with the devil and witches being involved and so on, I just knew it was gonna be action packed and magical but instead it bored me to tears! I was just determined I was not going to DNF it so I struggled thru and found parts of it to pick up and get real at times but then it would start a slow drag again. It started out so good and I even enjoyed the characters and the world building but it jut took so long for things to happen I would lose interest. It's really Not a bad book just slow or something.

yeah, i had a book like that recently....and it was a very popular book people raved aobut. i think it's because i didn't read the original series and this is a spinoff..that requires more reading. or could it be the times. or could it be because i'm reading like a mad person
