Synopsis

The waking forest has secrets. To Rhea, it appears like a mirage, dark and dense, at the very edge of her backyard. But when she reaches out to touch it, the forest vanishes. She's desperate to know more—until she finds a peculiar boy who offers to reveal its secrets...if she plays a game. To the Witch, the forest is her home, where she sits on her throne of carved bone, waiting for dreaming children to beg her to grant their wishes. One night, a mysterious visitor arrives and asks her what she wishes for, but the Witch sends him away. And then the uninvited guest returns. The strangers are just the beginning. Something is stirring in the forest, and when Rhea's and the Witch's paths collide, a truth more treacherous and deadly than either could ever imagine surfaces. But how much are they willing to risk to survive?

I wanted to like this. I tried to like it. But it was truly not for me. I’m sure some people would like this, but the writing did not work for me at all. Why? Because this book is a poster child for purple prose. ◆ The children were still hours away from arriving, and the first stars were just yawni......more

Goodreads review by Heather Adores Books

It was alright. Love the eeriness of the cover. RTC What to expect: ~ dual POV, 1st and 3rd ~ alternating chapters In the Dark & In the Woods ~ a witch I don't really read fantasy or witch books, but it's a hoopla bonus borrow so here we are. And tis the season of witchy time, so we'll see how it goes.......more
