Overall, this was an enjoyable read, and I think if I had fit into the target audience then maybe my star rating would have been a little higher. I truly love the concept behind the story, where it originated from, and how weird and quirky it was. The writing was beautiful and the setting was a dreamy type of atmospheric that was both fantasy fueled and modern meshed into one.

This is a satisfying magical realism romp filled with action, lore, and romance. Recommended to anyone who loves YA magical realism.

Looking for a new twist on the fey? Then read this tale of faerie exploring the darker sides of what happens when you make a bargain with a faerie.

I loved this book and couldn't put it down from the characters to the prose, it was amazing.

This was a fascinating read. The setting was very picturesque and the romance sweet abd troubling (of course). I found myself wanting to shake Skye out of her curse and taste her lover's cooking. I debated going for a kayak myself or trying my hand at carving driftwood. This author does an amazing job of really making her characters whole in spite of a curse that makes them rather flat. Love this book so much and can't wait to see more.

I loved the concept of this book: based on the poem Goblin Market, the book brought the sinister and sensual aspects of the poem to life in modern day Washington. I loved the relationships between the four central characters, and the eventual adventure to find the cure for goblin enchantment was both well paced and satisfying. The goblins themselves were sufficiently despicable in contrast to the more kindly "local" faeries. The only thing I felt could have been embellished was the romantic relationships: they felt a little flat and underdeveloped, especially in the light of the details of enchantments and goblins. In the end, it was a satisfying fantasy.

I'm sorry that this is so late--I struggled with what to say about this book for so long, that eventually it fell off the list.
I so much wanted to love this book, and so much didn't. Every time there was another element of magic, of mystery, of surprise, or even delight, it was immediately squelched and smothered with darkness, dispair,, or disappointment. There was so much potential, and so much good material to work with, but I must not be the right audience--I found the whole thing sad, upsetting, dark, and depressing.
I haven't, and won't, post any public reviews.

I'm unable to give a review as when I got this a short while later my kindle broke and I never got the chance to read/finish the book.

Apologies for not being able to review this book.

Hopefully I'll be able to go out and buy the book at a future date!

(I've given it 3 stars so it doesn't get marked down hopefully)

The story was engaging but the characters felt a bit cliche.

This was really hard to get into and I struggled to keep reading it. I found it too predictable for my tastes.

Unfortunately I just couldn't get into this book at all. I put it down and picked it up so many times, that I finally gave up on reading this book.

I wanted to love the book the goblins of Bellwater but it fell a little short for me. It felt a bit predictable for me. The beginning started out a bit creepy with the goblins but the romance was predictable and felt rushed. It would be good for a day when you want to watch reality shows and not do much.

The Goblins of Bellwater was a light, interesting read - which might seem odd, considering the subject matter. Even though the goblins were evil, they were more cartoonishly depicted, as was the rest of the fae world. So nothing ever felt too bleak or scary. It was a diverting read for sure, but not a super deep one.

I received with thanks an ARC copy of The Goblins of Bellwater from Cemtral Avenue Publishing & Netgalley.

This is my true and honest review of The Goblins of Bellwater by Molly Ringle. This was published in October 2017

I love goblins so had a feeling that I would enjoy this very much. This a creepy fairy tale, paranormal romance that is great for urban fantasy lovers.

Give this a go if you love urban fantasy.

DNF. I had a very hard time with this book; it was very difficult to get sucked into the story, and I did not find myself invested in the characters. I wanted so badly to enjoy it, but I just had to put it down at the halfway point. Perhaps I will revisit it someday and give it another try.

I liked the fantastical premise of this book and the basing off The Goblin Market poem. At first I thought it was YA but quickly figured out it's adult or New Adult with all of the hanky-panky that happens. In one update I called it 50 Shades of Goblin. Most of the whoopie is justified though based on the premise that two of the four MCs are under a Goblin spell and have become "mated" to each other.

This book grew on me as it went. I liked Livy and how strong a female character she was. My favorite part was reading about all of the things she had to do to save her friends and family. I would recommend this book to someone who wants something different with elements of fantasy.

This was one of those books I felt forced to read as everyone was talking about it. I now however understand why. For a genre I am not a hug fan of I loved this book to bits !

A creepy, sexy book with shades of Labyrinth and The Goblin Market. I enjoyed it, but I wasn't desperate to find out what would happen. I liked the goblins and Kit's liaison job.

Clever and well written.

While I adored the close to home Puget Sound setting of this modern fantasy, I just wasn't as charmed by the characters as I wanted to be. While this wasn't quite for me, it did make me look a little differently at the woods I live among.

This title is so good!! I really enjoyed it. The cover is not my taste but it´s kind of witting for the book. Also, it was the first time I read a book about goblins. I didn´t think it would be so good and enchanting.

Hmmmmmmm...... what to sat about The Goblins Of Bellwater?!?

I will admit that I had been really looking forward to reading this book ever since I first heard about it, I mean it sounded totally like my thing with goblins and a dark scary wood, battling to save a girl from joining the goblin hoardes..... the truth turned out to be a disappointment to me personally.

Don't get me wrong, it was a perfectly readable and decent book but it left me very disappointed for a couple of reasons:

1. I was expecting a book containing a mass of creepy, sneaky little goblins, up to no good and causing trouble as the main focus of the book. Yes, the goblins where there doing all that but the focus of the book wasn't with them as much as I had hoped and prayed. They were just secondary to the human and their woes/affairs.

2. This turned out to be less of fantasy book than I wanted and turned into much, much more of a romance book that I wanted to read. I can do romance in certain settings but personally I didn't like it here with the two human couples. Most of the books focus was on the insta-love rather than battling with the goblins, I found that a little sad.

As I said, the book is a perfectly good read but I think in my mind I had hyped it up to be something it wasn't for me and that's probably why I was left feeling so gutted and more than a little cold after reading it.

I do other had much better luck with The Goblins Of Belltower that I did as it probably deserves more praise that I give it right now.
