3.5
YA horror about a creepy forest cult? Sign. Me. Up.
This story had just the right features to suck me right in. Cults, moths, frenemies, missing person mystery. I really enjoyed the authors choices that made this a mysterious and creepy folk horror. It was just the right amount of dark and chilling for this kind of read.
While I typically love a faster paced read when it comes to a mystery in the plot, I do wish this specific book took it a little slower and added a bit more fluff. Despite the speed of the plot, I did still get to know and care for the characters quite well. However, I think more character building (especially of the side characters), an elongated plot that reveals the mysteries a bit slower, and more of the authors prose would have made this book pop a bit more for me.
Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group for the ARC of this book.
