Paola Santiago and the Forest of Nightmares by Tehlor Kay Mejia
4.0
I love this series very much and was so happy to get a review copy of the audio thanks to the publisher and Netgalley. The narrator is perfection with the characters in the story.
After the events of last summer, people grow and change and Dante isn't quite the friend he use to be, Paola has drifted apart from Emma, AND her mom has a boyfriend?! This is all too much for Pao! As Dante's grandmother falls into a coma, Paola again comes face to face with the paranormal world that seems to be calling her home to her father. So with an unwilling Dante, she heads off in search of her father. Along the way Pao learns more about her past and her connection to the Void, but will it be enough to save the day in the end?
I thought this book tackled growing pains very well, both the good and bad side of it and how we can work to fix things. It also gave the harsh reality that some things can't be fixed...I appreciate Tehlor Kay Mejia taking that on and doing a good job with it. I also like that Emma has taken on a role of super ally and support to a whole new level and rocks it.
I am very excitedly awaiting book three and don't want to wait till 2022!
