"But his ribs were a cage for monsters and they cut their teeth on his bones."

I don't quite have the words to really explain how deep into my soul this book got. But I'm quite certain it's going to live there for a very, very long time. 

The writing is just exquisite, while at the exact same time the story being told is full of horror and violence and things of nightmares. It takes an extremely talented author to be able to create this type of world that feels so dark and yet so welcoming.

CG Drews is a brilliant and gifted storyteller, and I cannot wait until the next time I'm lucky enough to once again journey into their dark mind and stories 🖤

Thanks so much to NetGalley, CG Drews, and Macmillan for the chance to review this ARC of Don't Let the Forest In.
