Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We're now about halfway through our flight from Hong Kong to Limerick, and I just thought I'd let you know that I ... am ... bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored ... bored. - Douglas Richardson, Cabin Pressure

Sorry to say it but how Douglas felt about his long flight from Hong Kong to Limerick is how I felt reading this book. So much so that I decided not to finish it so this little review only covers the 30% of this book that I did read.

The plot was interesting: a witch preparing for a battle with a warlock that will take place on the summer solstice but the solstice is the start of a curse that will affect all witches and warlocks unless the witch can figure out a way to save them. Then she meets a warlock who isn't anything like the stories she's heard about warlocks, he didn't seem evil and this is where things stop being interesting.

I didn't care about the characters, I didn't care about their dire problem or their romance and I didn't care for the writing style. I like fantasy and romance and the cliché forbidden love stories but this book despite having those elements just wasn't doing it for me so I dropped it.
