Pan's Labyrinth meets The Hazel Wood in this novel about a girl with terrifying visions and a wish-granting witch whose lives collide in the most unexpected of ways.
The waking forest has secrets. To Rhea, it appears like a mirage, dark and dense, at the very edge of her backyard. But when she reaches out to touch it, the forest vanishes. She's desperate to know more--until she finds a peculiar boy who offers to reveal its secrets. If she plays a game.
To the Witch, the forest is her home, where she sits on her throne of carved bone, waiting for dreaming children to beg her to grant their wishes. One night, a mysterious visitor arrives and asks her what she wishes for, but the Witch sends him away. And then the uninvited guest returns.The strangers are just the beginning. Something is stirring in the forest, and when Rhea's and the Witch's paths collide, a truth more treacherous and deadly than either could ever imagine surfaces. But how much are they willing to risk to survive?

Okay, I have to admit that the first thing that drew me to this book was its cover but LOOK AT IT. So pretty and mystical and so so dangerous-looking!!! I just swoon so much for it! ♥ But then, after reading the blurb, I can definitely say that I’m completely SOLD. Pan’s Labyrinth meets The Hazel Wood? Sign me up for it!

What are you waiting on this week? 🙂
This cover reminds me a lot of A Curse so Dark and Lonely but it sounds amazing! Can’t wait to see what you think of it.
