Author: Jennifer Rose McMahon
Rating: 1/5 stars
Synopsis: Like a punch in the
face, eighteen-year-old Maeve O'Malley's visions knock her off her path.
The pirate queen stalking Maeve in her dreams killed her mother years
ago and now, the villain is coming for her. Maeve's decision to ditch
Boston College takes everyone by surprise as she packs her bags, leaves
America, and heads to the west coast of Ireland to chase her dreams –
and end them.
Maeve uncovers an ancient family curse that refuses
to remain silent until she accepts her predestined role in what many
thought was only a legend. Her Irish history professor – a man she
shouldn’t be falling for – is the only person who understands the
origins of her torment.
Maeve's journey becomes a medieval
treasure hunt through Ireland’s castles and ruins as she tracks the
wrathful pirate queen who has her marked for vengeance.
I received a free ebook copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
My Thoughts:
DNF at 30%
I gave up on this one. It’s very slow-burning
and the plot is being neglected. So far the focus was mostly on the love
interests – 3!! of them appeared up until this point – and it would be possible
to drown in the clouds of butterflies the main character’s stomach produces on
every fourth page.
Most of the characters come across as immature
and Maeve, the protagonist, has the unfortunate symptoms of a Mary Sue.
Michelle, her friend, can only think about boys and so they hang around a boy
band all the time. They are so deep into social affairs that Maeve doesn’t do
the research about her family and her past; the very thing she went to Ireland
for in the first place. Hence, there is no plot, only lots of handsome guys and
clichéd conversations and I ran out of patience.
I don’t feel there’s anything special about the
writing either, it’s okay, but not too captivating. I’m afraid Bohermore didn’t
give me a reason to hold onto it and so I let go…
