This week I can’t wait for:

Into the Heartless Wood by Joanna Ruth Meyer

Expected publication: 12 January 2021

Publisher: Page Street Kids

From Goodreads:

Epic, heartbreaking, and darkly atmospheric, Into the Heartless Wood is the story of impossible love between a monstrous tree siren and a boy who lives at the edge of her wood.

The forest is a dangerous place, where siren song lures men and women to their deaths. For centuries, a witch has harvested souls to feed the heartless tree, using its power to grow her domain.

When Owen Merrick is lured into the witch’s wood, one of her tree-siren daughters, Seren, saves his life instead of ending it. Every night, he climbs over the garden wall to see her, and every night her longing to become human deepens. But a shift in the stars foretells a dangerous curse, and Seren’s quest to become human will lead them into an ancient war raging between the witch and the king who is trying to stop her.

Why I Can’t Wait for this book:

I’ve been reading a lot of cursed/spooky woods stories lately. And I just needed to see the words MONSTROUS TREE SIREN and a witch harvesting souls and I am SO THERE. It sounds a bit like The Little Mermaid!
