In the Night Wood

Thank you to Netgalley, Harper Collins and Dale Bailey for my ARC of In the Night Wood. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.


Synopsis: Grieving the loss of their young daughter, Charles and Erin Hayden move to England to live in the recently inherited Hollow House deep in the valleys of Yorkshire. Charles has been obsessed with Caedmon Hollow since he was a child and when he discovers his wife is a descendant and they've inherited the house, he decides to write a biography unravelling the mystery of Caedmon's single work of fiction In the Night Wood. But darkness beyond their grief begins to circle the couple as the woods awaken and the horned king begins to haunt their dreams.

I really liked this one! I felt like I would, the premise was really intriguing I love a good mystery tied up in fantasy especially in a contemporary setting with a mix of historical fiction thrown in there too, what's not to like?!

The premise was incredibly interesting, just the right amount of creepy intrigue and danger mixed in with a sorrowful contemporary tale. Hailing from Yorkshire myself I can say it is the perfect setting for this kind of book, as of course the Brontës too advantage of too!
If you're looking for a relatively short read with an interesting and intriguing plot that keeps you turning the pages until the very end then look no further!
