Perfect for fans of The Hazel Wood, this genre-bending page-turner from New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux follows two girls who transport themselves into the world of their favorite book only to encounter the sinister alternate reality that awaits them.
No matter how different best friends Adelle and Connie are, one thing they've always had in common is their love of a little-known gothic romance novel called Moira. So when the girls are tempted by a mysterious stranger to enter the world of the book, they hardly suspect it will work. But suddenly they are in the world of Moira, living among characters they've obsessed about for years.
Except…all is not how they remembered it. The world has been turned upside down: The lavish balls and star-crossed love affairs are now interlaced with unspeakable horrors. The girls realize that something dark is lurking behind their foray into fiction—and they will have to rewrite their own arcs if they hope to escape this nightmare with their lives.
My Review:
Oh man, this book! I was so excited to read this one, of girls going into their favourite book (what booklover wouldn't want to do that!) but for the world to be darker then it was portrayed! I couldn't wait to dive in and see how it all played out!
I had such a great time reading this book! I did prefer reading COnnie to Adelle at first, but Adelle grew and changed as the book went on, as she realized this world in the book she loved so much wasn't what she thought.
Learning about how things had changed, that was so interesting, and it sucks for the characters! But boy was it an adventure to read! And the Wound and the Befouler were so creepy! Watching everyone band together to help stop it was so great!
That ending though? It was bittersweet, that they had to leave those that they'd met and formed these close relationships with, behind. And those last few paragraphs? I'm not quite sure what happened, but it doesn't sound good for the future!
I absolutely loved reading this book, and I just want to keep on the train of reading Madeleine Roux YA and adult books!
