All books should have a dark magical forest.

My brain wants to read every possible book that it finds interesting, all at the same time. Should I add a rom com to the list too? Hmm....

The Crane Wives

For the Wolf, Hannah Whitten

For the Wolf is a Little Red Riding Hood reimagining with magic and prophecies. As the second daughter of the royal family, Redarys has been marked since birth as a sacrifice. Upon her 20th birthday, she must be sent into the mysterious Wilderwoods to fulfill a centuries old bargain with the Wolf who resides there. In exchange the kingdom will be protected from the dangerous creatures who also call the Wilderwoods their home. When she gets there however, she finds not the Wolf, but his son; a handsome man who's far more gentle than the stories made her believe the Wolf could be and who's struggling to keep the Wilderwoods at bay. Redarys is going to need to work together with him, as well as learn to control the magic she'd been suppressing since she was a teen, if they want to save both the kingdom and the Wilderwoods.

The Fox Hunt, Caitlin Breeze

The Fox Hunt is about a university student named Emma Curran. After getting accepted for a fellowship for her research on the local plant and animal life, she meets and falls for campus heartthrob Jasper at an event for the sponsored students. He sweeps her away into his world of high class parties and gourmet food and ritual sacrifice. Wait, what? Turns out Jasper is the president of a Secret Society that's produced all the most powerful and influential figures in the country by making human sacrifices to an ancient power in exchange for their success. After stumbling her way into being this year's sacrifice, she gets thrust into the mysterious and powerful Night City where she must find a way to pay off the debt the Society owes if she wants to keep her life. Emma's not just looking to save herself however, she's also looking for revenge on Jasper and every other member of the Society who built their lives on the blood of innocents.

Local bookshop haul today! Got my preorder of Branded by @leeyring and I also found For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten on sale!

I started listening to the audiobook for Branded, but quickly realized I needed to tandem read it! (Reminded me of my time reading Ivan Doig, because you can't passively read his writing either!)

And For the Wolf I started reading through the library, but ran out of time and then my library stopped carrying it 😭

I'm excited I get to finish both, and to have them on my shelves!

Something something Rachel Gillig and Hannah Whitten have similar topics and themes treated similarly but still in distinct ways something something the gods currently revered are humans/mortals using power corruptly or corrupted by (and corrupting) power

damn the myths. she was just as much a part of those stories as he was, and if her destruction was imminent, she'd rather be the architect than a bystander.
