People on Goodreads are giving it one and two stars based solely on what it's about, but I know it's not promoting it, so that doesn't make sense to me. It's like giving a bad rating to a story about any negative issue being called out for being horrific. Two thumbs up for explaining why you dnfed and not passing it off as a bad book. :)La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-79496674229978350032017-02-27T19:45:07.783-06:002017-02-27T19:45:07.783-06:00I thought about getting Roanoke Girls but I am kin...I thought about getting Roanoke Girls but I am kind of glad I didn't though I must say I am a bit curious about the secrets...lol.

I don't think I would care for this one.<br /><br />In regards to Heath Stone, I think characters are important but every once in a while I can really enjoy a book where I don't like any of the characters.

Thanks for saving me the time as I'm sure I'd give up at the point you did. Too bad. <br />I also read Hearth Stone and felt the same as you. I didn't read the next in the series but maybe someday.
