The Wicker King
by K. Ancrum
I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about this...
On the one hand, I loved the atmosphere, the darkness, the madness, the creativity, and the way these boys love each other so much it absolutely ripped my heart out.
They're two messed up kids in a messed up relationship dealing with messed up things...
And all the other teen characters were the absolute best! I'd give my heart to Roger, even to Peter! There is an incredible portrayal of friendship however... our main character doesn't seem to care about the fantastic people around him. He only goes towards the guy who abuses him...
The problem is that their relationship is very unhealthy, one of the guys being severely abusive and both being codependent on an unhealthy level... I feel as though it wasn't addressed in the best way...
The author says in their note that they are the perfect match because one needed someone to take care of and the other needed to be taken care of... but that doesn't make it healthy!
At the end of the day, it is definitely a thrilling and fast read but please do remember that this type of relationship isn't to be encouraged.
