“I loved the setting, which I think made this series a bit more different and therefore more unique. I think it’s probably the biggest selling point of this series. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read about an Irish setting, right?”

While I have read Sheila Connelly before, this is my first book I’ve read in the County Cork series. I believe that this is the last book in the series, so I think that I will want to go back and read the others as well. But I picked up this book after enjoying several other of Connelly’s work in some of the other series, so I wanted to try this one out. I’m glad that I did.
I enjoyed FATAL ROOTS and enjoyed the different style of writing. I loved the setting, which I think made this series a bit more different and therefore more unique. I think it’s probably the biggest selling point of this series. I mean, who wouldn’t want to read about an Irish setting, right?
Maura, the heroine, is still someone that I think is still going through her growing phases. As this is my first book of the series I’ve read, I can’t really tell you if she has developed much from the beginning. However, I do still think that there’s still room for her to develop. She says she doesn’t know a lot of things in the book, but I don’t know if that’s an excuse or just a way to keep the mystery going.
I will say, there’s a lot of repetition in this book, which definitely bogs down the story. I think the author could have addressed that more better. In the end, it was still enjoyable and I will continue reading her books.

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!
