Whispers in the Woods by K.C. Carmine
5.0
A wonderful debut novella from this excellent writer. I've been a fan of this author in various fandoms and this first original work is brilliant.
Superb original characters in Robert and Tomek make this a fast-paced and enjoyable read. A story of self-acceptance and discovery in an atmosphere of prejudice is so well written and has many poignant moments. The development of their friendship is organic and totally believable. The supernatural elements are very well incorporated and it's easy to immerse yourself in their world.
I loved the atmosphere the author creates. You can feel the snow crunching underfoot and hear the wind through the trees. I also very much appreciated the punk rock theme being a huge fan of The Offspring too. Brilliant.
All in all, a super short story that I highly recommend. I couldn't put it down and read it one sitting. Addicted from the first page.
