Don't Let the Forest In
by C.G. Drews
4 stars, 7.71 on CAWPILE
Thank you to NetGalley and Feiwel & Friends for an ebook in exchange for an honest review!
Okay, I don't read horror. This book was definitely outside of my usual genre but let me tell you, I am glad that I read it!
First of all, the vibes. The atmosphere is so creepy and just.. it feels.. mossy in a way if that makes sense. CG Drews does such a good job of making you FEEL and sense the forest, even in the middle of you living room, and it's a creepy as hell forest too, thick and heavy and rotting.
The writing was very flower-y, almost too flower-y for me, but still enjoyable. The first half seemed to go slowly. Tension was building but there were times when I was just wanting something crazy to happen.
The second half is when this book really grabs you by the throat. It was wild, I couldn't put it down, wondering what the heck was going on, what was in our heads and what was real.
The plot twist!! I was expecting SOMETHING but it wasn't with that particular character!!
And the ending??? WHAT THE??????
