At times gothic, and other times confusing, A Bewitching Bride ended up very sweet, but left me wondering what the heck had happened. Kate sort of ping-ponged back and forth in her emotions--I thought she was pregnant at one point because in the span of half a page she went from euphoric to screeching shrew for no reason I could ascertain.

It was however an intriguing story that was different and entertaining to read. Neither Kate nor Gavin were people particularly comfortable with themselves, or with each other half the time, but prophecy is a powerful thing. The true villain is rather easy to discern, though the motivations are muddied, but the real fun was watching Kate and Gavin being stuck in each other's company.… (más)

I'm honestly not sure why I finished this book. Perhaps since the initial premise was so ridiculous---of course you'd send your friend something cryptic about the villain when he's coming to kill you instead of saying, plainly, "the villain did it!"---each succeeding plot twist and contortion of character seemed less absurd than it truly was.

By the time I got to the part where the hero was lambasting the heroine for putting her dead husband on a pedestal---because the hero, himself, has apparently put the heroine on a pedestal and can't forgive her any flaws or mistakes---I was already so far into the blasted thing that I decided I might as well finish it. I might, too, have been hoping the hero and heroine would have a nice knock-down-drag-out and sort everything out between them...but that didn't happen either. All told, a complete waste of several hours' reading time.… (más)

Un pò deludente...forse è stato un pò noioso il modo in cui è stato trattato il rapporto tra i due.
Nonostante siano due personaggi che sembravano promettere bene, la loro storia (per me) non è stata sviluppata come si doveva.
I problemi iniziali non sono stati risolti, ma solo accantonati...e in tutto il libro questa cosa mi ha disturbato. Continuavo ad aspettarmi che si chiarissero, invece dopo un paio di litigate le cose continuavano a rimanere le stesse.
Bella la parte del diario da decodificare e del particolare collegmento tra i due...
Spero in qualcosa di meglio quando tratterà la storia di Alex.
