Don't Let the Forest In

as a gay goth girl, you'd think I'd be the target audience for this gay gothic book, but this was just not for me. there was no suspense or fear. The horror aspect was very lacklustre. At no point was I worried for the characters or eager to turn the page. 

The author has obviously tried to make the reader think and has left multiple storylines open to interpretation, but I think too many were left open. There wasn't a single satisfying conclusion to any of them. I think if the horror sections (eg when the cryptid monsters were in play) had slower pacing, more suspense and there was a clear danger element for the characters this book would have been a lot better.

Whenever the characters did get hurt, they were somehow absolutely fine and continued on with no issue or remembrance of the giant hole going through their body. 

I sadly wouldn't recommend this to friends.
