#Review & #Giveaway of Winterkill by @KateBoorman

Emmeline knows she’s not supposed to explore the woods outside her settlement. The enemy that wiped out half her people lurks there, attacking at night and keeping them isolated in an unfamiliar land with merciless winters. Living with the shame of her grandmother’s insubordination, Emmeline has learned to keep her head down and her quick tongue silent.
When the settlement leader asks for her hand in marriage, it’s an opportunity for Emmeline to wash the family slate clean—even if she has eyes for another. But before she’s forced into an impossible decision, her dreams urge her into the woods, where she uncovers a path she can’t help but follow. The trail leads to a secret that someone in the village will kill to protect. Her grandmother followed the same path and paid the price. If Emmeline isn’t careful, she will be next.

My Review 1 Very Cold Star DNF

So what can I say about the some odd 100 pages I read of Winterkill?  Well if it was snowing outside I prob would have buried this book in the snow.  This book is not very long but the story is a drag.  I found myself asleep more than once during my time reading and after giving this book three days of my life I decided it was time to call it quits.  Em is your cookie cutter ya heroine and it just didnt work out for me.  There was nothing that really made me care about her.  I know I'm reading the ARC but some of the story line felt weird as well.  I was interested in this as soon as I heard The Village.  But, where The Village was intertwining this book was putting me to sleep.  So unfortunately Winterkill just wasn't for me. 

This one being Kate Boorman's debt it really shows.
