The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
So where do I start with this one? Normally I'm all excited when I finish a book, giddy with excitement to share my feelings over the story I just read.
But this book left me with a hollow feeling because this wasn't your typical happy-ever-after. Or rather, let's take that happy right out of there. This was bitter-sweet and downright, hollow. And I loved it!
Everything in this book was planned out to connect, right from when we're first introduced to Alice and Ella. Alice isn't your typical MC, she rude, mean, and a little bit crazy. She doesn't give a flying fuck, and most of all she has this ability to make others crazy just by starring them down. If it wasn't for Ella she would have been admitted years ago.
I can see where some people would not like this type of character or feel like they can't connect. Most YA MCs are the shy, closet beautiful girl, that's too sweet and caring for their own good. That is not Alice, she even brings it up herself, that she doesn't feel.. right. That antagonist-like profile made Alice, to me, special and enjoyable.
I highly recommend you read this twisted tale full of bloody stories that are anything but pretty fairy tales.
Happy Reading
