Mehso-so

In the small town of Winston, Pennsylvania, several babies have gone missing over the years with bundles of sticks or ice left in their place. It's rumoured that the Lord of the Woods has taken them & anyone who goes looking for the stolen babies never returns.

Teenager Leah Jones doesn't really believe in the LotW, but wants nothing more than her freedom from taking care of her baby brother, Owen. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf A carelessly made wish comes true & Owen disappears, so Leah undertakes a journey into the LotW's land to get him back - a journey no-one has ever returned from.

This was just OK for me. The world-building, story, & romance were adequate but I didn't get swept away in the story as I did with 'Belladonna' by Adalyn Grace. There were no real surprises in how things turn out. Overall, it was fine but I wouldn't re-read it. 3⭐

Check trigger warnings!
This book has Tori Bovalinos' signature writing style full of dark topics and meaningful messages. I loved the love story. It had me on the verge of tears, which is very rare because I usually don't read books for the romance. The descriptions are perfection, and the characters are very well written. I highly recommend this book!
