If you're looking for a standalone dark fantasy romance to get you in the mood for fall, this is your book. Song of the Dark Wood is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling brimming with magic, feminine rage, gothic vibes, and hints of Hades and Persephone.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book- the writing was engaging, the plot was immersive, and the characters were intriguing. I particularly enjoyed the unique magic system and the complexity that was written into the Wolf character. My personal favorite scene was in chapter 24!
