My review for The Ghost Woods by C.J. Cooke, 5/5 stars.
I absolutely loved this! Haunting, dark, and magical, where imagination and reality clash, creating a fairy-tale nightmare.
Lichen House is a place where unwed mothers-to-be can stay during the pregnancy and birth, their children adopted by wealthy couples. Run by Mrs Whitlock and her husband, there is something sinister about the house right from the beginning.
The characters are wonderfully written, and you care what happens to them. The author also weaves in threads of social injustices of the time, in a way that enriches the narrative.
Perfect for this time of the year, it is a beautifully haunting read. Highly recommend!
