Got as an eARC from Netgalley. There was a lot I liked about this book. The characters were all endearing. I love an enchanted forest, even when it’s beyond creepy. I nailed down the plot twist about halfway through but it wasn’t so obvious that it was ridiculous that our main character didn’t know.

I feel conflicted about the ending as it’s vague and not many questions were solidly answered. There was also a fakeout that happens near the end that almost soured my whole reading experience. But, overall I enjoyed reading Don’t Let the Forest In and think it’s a really good October read.
