Rating: 5 out of 5

In Dark Woods gives a continuation of Isaac and Lilli’s story in follow up to the events that have happened in Signal Bend in books 3 and 4.  Since we last focused on them in Behold the Stars, we’ve had glimpses into their relationship through the eyes of Show, Shannon, Bart and Riley.  Major, life-altering stuff has gone down in Signal Bend since book 2.  In Dark Woods takes a deeply emotional journey into the lives of these two soul mates – these two warriors, survivors – and shows us true, lasting, deep love in a purely emotional form.  It’s a freaking tear-jerker.  It’s an intimate, personal, and raw portrayal into the life of these characters. The characters of Isaac and Lilli have continually developed throughout this series.  In Dark Woods raises them to a whole new level.  Through her evocative, skilled writing, Susan Fanetti brutally breaks our hearts then gently picks up the pieces one by one until we full whole again just as she does to Isaac and Lilli.  I can’t say too much or I’m going to spoil it.  But this novella is so powerful and moving.  It bonds these two like never before and we get to fall in love with them all over again.  It’s a story of defeat contrasted with triumph; of love and hate; of peace and chaos.  It’s brilliant.  I LOVE THIS SERIES and I cannot wait for book 5 and Havoc’s story.
