Whisperwood

Just finished Whisperwoods by Alex Woodroe and here are my musings.

Whisperwoods is a place with a reputation. People go in and don't come back out. Anna is running away and Whisperwoods seems like a great place to get lost in. A town on no map... It seems like the perfect place to hide from her witch hunting abusive ex.

It soon becomes clear that this sleepy town is much more than meets the eye. Witnessing some bizarre and supernatural occurrences has Anna wishing she had never come but curiosity gets the better of her. Not like she can leave.... Something is preventing anyone from leaving.

This was a really weird book, good weird but still very weird! The whole forest and what is in it had me hooked from the get go. I always felt that underlying chill down my spine and I needed to know more about what was happening.

What didn't I like? I felt the story got a little muddled in places and I felt a little lost sometimes. Lots going on and it felt a little rushed in places but I loved all the descriptions and explanations that were given. The book was well thought out and planned which shows in the intricate details woven into the storyline.

I could have done with a bit more character development but all in all I was really pleased with this book!

4 stars! Thank you @netgalley and @flametreepress for my gifted copy
