The Darkest Part of the Forest is a brand new Faerie tale from the one of few literary gods, Holly Black. So new that it won’t be hitting shelves until early 2015 but I can guarantee you it will be worth the wait. Black’s writing style is even more haunting and beautiful in this new novel, the atmosphere of the fairy folk adding that whimsical air to the already entrancing words.

Phrases like, “snagged like silk on a branch” and “beings of dawn and dusk” are never more at home than within the pages of this wondrous world.
