**Lush and chilling, with razor-sharp edges and an iron core of hope, this bewitching, powerhouse novel of two girls fighting back against the violence the world visits on them will stun and enchant readers.**
***Girls have been going missing in the woods…***
When Natasha’s sister disappears, Natasha desperately turns to Della, a local girl rumored to be a witch, in the hopes that magic will bring her sister home.
But Della has her own secrets to hide. She thinks the beast who’s responsible for the disappearances is her own mother—who was turned into a terrible monster by magic gone wrong.
Natasha is angry. Della has little to lose. Both are each other’s only hope.
**From the author of *Ghost Wood Song*, this eerie contemporary fantasy is perfect for fans of *Wilder Girls* and *Bone Gap*.**

Many thanks to HarperCollins and Edelweiss for the digital arc!
This was a bloody, witchy, queer, surprisingly poignant rollercoaster of a novel. I did enjoy Ghost Wood Song, although I found this one to be more gripping and better paced. It had a strong feminist message, a tender romance, and complex characters that I was invested in. Plus monsters and magic! I would recommend to older teens who enjoy stories that delve into both real and imagined horrors. (Read-alikes: Sawkill Girls, Wilder Girls, The Grace Year).
