Blurb
A journey into the wild woods with a character who just needs a break—and the terrible things that stare back at her.
When curious nomad Anna hears about Whisperwood, a town that’s not on any maps, that nobody goes to, and nobody comes from, she sees an opportunity to hide from her violent witch-hunting ex.
But not everything is peaceful in the isolated community. A vanishing town, a gruesome funeral rite, an emergency field surgery—these surprises and more test Anna's resolve.
Prevented from leaving the frontier settlement by folk magic she doesn’t understand, Anna lends helping hands everywhere she can, but quickly finds that investigating the forest too closely could end up being the last thing she does.
My Opinion
Whisperwood by Alex Woodroe is an impressive horror novel that will captivate fans of the genre. With its engrossing plot, well-developed characters, and atmospheric storytelling, it delivers a chilling experience that lingers long after the final page. If you're a horror enthusiast looking for a thrilling and spooky read, this book should be on your list. However, the author's writing style is engaging and evocative, successfully transporting readers into a nightmarish realm. The book's conclusion is both satisfying and unsettling, leaving room for interpretation and discussion, which is a sign of a well-crafted horror story.
Definitely 4 stars for the book. Thanks to Random Things Tours and Flame Tree Press for providing me with an opportunity to be a part of the blog tour.
