i received an advanced review copy from the publisher via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. this did not affect my rating.

andrew, a senior at wickwood academy, enjoys writing twisted fairytales to share with thomas, who brings these stories to life through drawing them. but as their friendship gets rocky, and secrets come to light, something is happening in the woods surrounding the school that could disrupt everything.

this is the kind of 5-star read that makes me want to go change the ratings of all my other 5-star reads. i so easily lost myself in this book, with the appalachian setting perfectly fitting the eerie writing style and plot. i really can’t put to words just how much i loved andrew and thomas, and how much i missed them as soon as i put this book down. i highly recommend this to fans of YA horror.
