Forest of the Forsaken: The Witch's Snare is a dark and intense tale of betrayal, magic, and love. Meg's world is turned upside when her father re-marries. His new wife is just plain evil, and her new step-brother is gorgeous and just a little strange. When her father forces her to go with her new family on their honeymoon, Meg could not feel more uncomfortable. When she starts seeing weird things in the forest she thinks she is going crazy, but when her father and her step-mother disappear, she knows she must venture into the forest to save them.The romance in this story is not instant, and the characters are not Prince Charming or Princess Rose. Meg is troubled and has sarcastic wit and is a bit snarky. Joey is a complex character with a traumatizing past and interesting coping methods. Meg and Joey come together with a clash of emotions and an intensity that with give your goose bumps.The mystery, suspense, paranormal overtures, romance and the darkness of this story draw the reader in, grabs them, and will not let go. This eerie journey through a forbidden forest will shake you to your core. In this story the things that linger under your bed, the things that go bump in the night, and the stories that warn of monsters that lurk in the woods, are real. Hold tight to your courage and journey with Meg and Joey into the Forest of the Forsaken.A must read that you will devour and still be hungry for more!
