This was such an amazing mix of horror and emotions.
I was immediately hooked on the first few pages. There weren't any dull moments, from learning why the teens were sent to wilderness therapy, their own personal trauma/issues, character dynamics, and especially once the book shifted after they crossed the river.
I tried to figure out what was stalking them through the woods and who was an imposter from the beginning, and it still blew me away towards the end when everything starts to unravel.
What The Woods Took is such an emotional yet horrifying read and I absolutely love it!
Themes:
•Lesbian Hate to Love
•Eldritch Woods Horror
•Creatures
•Supernatural Horror

If this is wilderness therapy, Ollie really is out of chances.

These woods are different. They may have crossed their first milestone, but for the first time since they arrived, Devin is sure they’re in real danger.
Devin touches the crown and bites back a smile. “What happened to not being nice?”
“I’m very inconsistent,” Sheridan teases. “Never let them know your next move.”
