Bueno después de obligarme a salir del bloqueo lector, lo terminé en un día y no entiendo porque me tomó tanto tiempo leerlo si lo amé.
La historia nos muestra a Nora, una adolescente que viene de un largo linaje de brujas ligadas a un bosque en el que siempre aparecen cosas perdidas. Una noche de luna llena se adentra en el mismo porque ese es el momento en el que está dormido, y encuentra a un chico. Lo lleva a su casa, le da calor y no entiende cómo permaneció tanto tiempo en el bosque con vida.
El chico en cuestión es Oliver, y ambos sienten una atracción intensa que no pueden explicar. Siento que no puedo decir mucho más sin caer en spoiler pero creo que es todo lo que necesitas saber para empezar.
Desde las primeras páginas conecté mucho con la pluma de la autora, que tiene una forma muy fluida de narrar y algunos toques poéticos que son preciosos. Y además me gustó mucho la trama, no me esperaba ciertas cosas y ciertas otras creo que sí pero eran necesarias para el desarrollo de la historia y los personajes.
Nora me cayó bien desde el principio, y Oliver como que meh, pero me pareció muy lograda la química que tuvieron.
El final no lo esperaba, al menos no en su totalidad, y me encanta que haya sido así. Me sorprendió mucho porque esperaba un libro medio pelo ya que no quise dejarme llevar por su éxito previo La Maldición del Mar (que voy a leer ni bien pueda), y no lo catalogaría como una joya literaria, pero habiendo dicho eso, me parece un gran libro de fantasía, donde había muchos elementos ya conocidos de este género pero empleados de manera creativa. Yo tengo debilidad por la fantasía que incluye magia y específicamente brujas la verdad, pero aunque no fuera así, seguiría pensando que es un gran libro. Me encantó.
Recomiendo este libro con los ojos cerrados porque no creo que pueda fallar, es lectura ligera, tiene magia, un bosque misterioso, un poco de romance, mentiras, secretos. Yo que ustedes le doy una oportunidad.

I can only describe this as Stir of a Echoes reimagined or reversed. And I was quite fond of that movie, so the witchy and at times poetic additions are a heartwarming contrast to the more nefarious reality of the situation. Very well balanced and enchanting though I found the beginning slow moving.

Overall, I liked it. The story takes place in conteporary times, where a teenage girl, a descendant of a long line of witchy women who walk the dangerous dark forest, meets a boy. The story reminded me of Jack Frost a bit, and the idea that Nora wasn't the kind of character who just wants to escape and be the one was refreshing. I liked how she wanted to connect with her past and she loved her traditions and her family. Also, the way that she wasn't the special one, at least for the biggest part of the book, was pretty interesting. The big twist in the end was very very very good and unpredictable. Oliver was okay too, however he was more of a thinly spread character than the dashing hero. The romance was too quick and most of Nora's decisions were rushed. The ending, although the idea was good, was too sudden and too cliche. Finally, the little extras about the Walker women were a nice touch.

I really really enjoyed reading this book. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning and really eerie. The only sad thing is that I did guessed the thriller aspect halway through the book but its okay, the atmosphere totally made up for that. This was a really easy read perfect to bed read in november/december. I really enjoyed it.
