This was a great book. 
I feel like the ending could’ve been better (just in Bear’s case) 
Several characters who should’ve been brought to justice that just weren’t. 
One thing that was so enticing about the book was there were a lot of potential suspects. Like the whole book I was like it was definitely Peter II or it could’ve been Jacob II I was so suspicious of em aha. 
I liked the ending for Barbara. I think the plot was well written to keep things wrapped up until the big reveal. 
I liked how connecting the dots didn’t happen until the author allowed it to happen. Like don’t try to expect to know the answers right away but you’ll get em later. 
Definitely would recommend.

Thankfully, the hype did not let me down. The God of the Woods is a well-crafted and expertly told mystery with family drama.

I didn't get a sense of shock value as I was reading and, honestly, that's good. With how well you are understanding this cast of characters, the ending will not come as a surprise; it felt natural.

My nitpick is one specific character felt as an extra - almost a red herring to keep you guessing until they have that one thing to contribute. But it could have been handled by a better crafted character as they intended. The extra felt as the only thing quickly tossed into the pan to make it spicy.
