That is, when they're not lying on the glass coffin, making up stories about the horned boy who's asleep beneath. Hazel & Ben - a forest fire and a gentle breeze, having too much earth and freedom in their hearts spent their childhood walking on the wild side, chasing cryptids and bad ideas (Hazel with a sword and Ben with hypnotizing music). And in the woods, there is a glass coffin and in it sleeps a horned beautiful elf prince. The Darkest Part of The Forest is a standalone urban fantasy about two siblings - Hazel & Ben, who live in a weird small town that borders a kingdom of fae and elves and all kinds of mythical creatures. I need at least five books starring these characters!
And I seriously wish it didn't have to end. but like, a glittery, light pink, soft mess.
I'm honestly a total fucking mess over this book. My heart is growing a lot and I want to cover this story and these characters in it. This book made me want to lie down on the forest floor for a moment or two and just breathe in and out and in and out, letting nature wash over me with dirt in my hair and dew on my skin while the sun slowly slips into the sky and the morning is slowly borning all around me. I feel like my life is just a constant cycle of finally getting past the book I was obsessing about and then immediately finding another book to obsess about. But swept up in new love, shifting loyalties, and the fresh sting of betrayal, will it be enough? The boy has slept there for generations, never waking.Īs the world turns upside down, Hazel tries to remember her years pretending to be a knight. Hazel and Ben were both in love with him as children. It rests right on the ground and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives. Or she did, once.Īt the center of it all, there is a glass coffin in the woods. The faeries’ seemingly harmless magic attracts tourists, but Hazel knows how dangerous they can be, and she knows how to stop them.
Hazel lives with her brother, Ben, in the strange town of Fairfold where humans and fae exist side by side. She can believe she’s found the thing she’s been made for. A girl can look at her brother and believe they’re destined to be a knight and a bard who battle evil. Children can kill a monster and feel quite proud of themselves. Children can have a cruel, absolute sense of justice.
