Wilderness therapy gone very, VERY wrong.
What the Woods Took is literally my nightmare wrapped up in a book. I stayed up all night reading and had to sleep with a light on, there were many moments in the book that made my skin crawl and moments I was downright terrified. Though I had some theories on where this book would go and what would happen, I was so excited going into this book, but… I didn’t exactly get what I anticipated. What I read was SO MUCH BETTER! If I could have oven this book 6/5 stars, I would!

Word of warning: If something feels off about the woods… it probably is.
