If I could give this a thousand stars, I would. I am shook. 

Thank you to Macmillan Children's Publishing Group | Feiwel & Friends for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I absolutely loved Don’t Let the Forest In. I was thrilled to be selected for an eARC for Hazelthorn! I love the spooky and creepy vibes from CG Drews. And Hazelthorn 100% delivers in those categories. I kept forgetting this was modern day, which lent even more of that off-kilter feeling. Like a space trapped in time, which is very much what the Hazelthorn estate seems to be. It’s a murder mystery plus malevolent secret garden plus…I don’t even know. I LOVE IT!!! I blew through this book in half a day. Nothing got done, chores, and meals completely forgotten. All I wanted to do was keep reading. The garden and its secrets, the family and their greed, the confusion around Evander and Laurence- what they are and what they aren’t. Every single page brings more questions. I devoured it all and I want more. 

(I can’t believe this is YA, I am going to sleep with my lights on for a while.)
