What the Woods Keep
by Katya de Becerra
Actual rating 4.5
I'm flailing because it's over but I dont want it to be over because... well just because ok!
I loved the characters especially the most unexpected one the House and surrounding town of Promise. Yes, they have personalities and do things so they totally class as characters - sentience is never essential.
The pace flowed effortlessly keeping m intrigued at every twist and turn, constantly second guessing what I thought I knew. Was it aliens? Is she secretly crazy? Was it fae or crone who stole her mother away?
My only qualm with the entire thing was that the final 50ish pages felt rushed. Small potatoes in an otherwise spectacular debut novel. I cant wait to read De Becerra's next novel, Oasis, when it drops next year.
Last thing I have to say - even if you take no other advice from me this year, read this book. As soon as you can...
