Review: Not for me...

Talk about a book that has just about everything in it. I am not kidding; there are Egyptian and Gypsy curses, a werewolf, murder and a rich Lord who marries a poor girl so she can kill him. Even though this felt like a slightly darker retelling of a Beauty and the Beast, I just didn't fall in love with this novel.This Gothic Romance just didn't have a good romantic feel to it. The first half of the book I just did not like the hero Lord Draven. Even after everything was explained, I just couldn't get over my first impression of him. Then we have Isabella who just couldn't seem to make up her mind and stick with it. She was very wishy-washy and I didn't see what Draven liked about her.When I finally reached the end I thought I had read a 400 page novel. I was surprised to find that it only has 224 pages. The plot has so much in it with so many twists and turns, well I just felt like I had been reading forever. There were quite a few surprises for me that is why I finished it, to see how the author gave them their HEA. It was an interesting book, to say the least!
