Don't Let the Forest In by C.G. Drews
4.0
I ... am not sure how to rate this. I'm settling on four stars, but like ... I'm also a mess? And kind of annoyed? But not sure if I'm annoyed with the author or with myself because the author definitely warned me, and I just ... didn't listen. Because I am a naive, gullible little idiot, I guess. I just want to curl up with a blanket and not talk to anyone for a while.
I came for the ace rep and left weeping. The ace rep was done well. Like. I kind of wish the ace horror had been leaned into a little more, but what bites we got was DELICIOUS and I was so here for it. But also I feel like, while I love this author and their work, I also get kind of triggered by their writing. It's so gutting and honest and real and just ... baby steps are required for me to make it through the book without coming apart. So definitely check the content warnings on this one, friends. But also ... read if you want sad, panicked, frantic gays hunting monsters and being angsty? Might come back with more coherent thoughts later. Who tf knows with this one.
