![]() ![]() I originally skipped this book because reviews had me thinking i wouldn't like it. The main thing you need to learn from this review, is to not read any other reviews about this book. Themes: Little Dip, hostile villagers, artist, cracking the code, family secrets, something evil lurks in the woods, where is aunt Connie, I didn’t care much for Leone, shifty librarian, Amy should have booked the next flight to London. But I read some of the reviews and the consensus is that it gets better, so I will certainly read Ambereye. Also, McKnight wrote this 10 years ago and I miss the humor she put into her later work. I am not super into the whole shaggy alpha wolfie shifter stuff, so that can be part of it. I think this was probably my least favorite McKnight book so far. Amy was a brave woman for staying in Little Dip. The whole Garoul clan was complicit in keeping poor Amy in the dark for most of the book and, as she herself pointed out, in doing so exposing her to considerable danger. She was immature, secretive and pushy and the sex scenes between her and Amy made me feel uncomfortable because of the non-consensual nature of it. ![]() I really had to work hard to find anything sympathetic about main character Leone. ![]() So, Goldenseal left me a bit underwhelmed to be honest. It has been languishing in my to-read pile for an obscene amount of time, but after enjoying Borage so much I decided to stay with McKnight for a bit longer. ![]() Finally I’ve read the first of the Garoul series. ![]()
