A dark fantasy debut perfect for fans of House of Salt and Sorrow , The Hazel Wood , and L.J. Smith's The Forbidden Game trilogy. It was supposed to be a fun school trip to Germany's infamous Black Forest, but the castle they're staying in doesn't match the brochure-it's old, creepy, and every room holds a different Grimm fairy tale bent on their destruction. Sadie Reyes and Jenny Bell had been best friends most of their lives, until a traumatic event tore them apart. Sadie can't forgive Jenny for her role in what happened, and Jenny can't forgive herself. Now they're trapped together inside a castle where terrifying things happen at night and the people that work at the castle aren't at all what they seem to be. As their friends begin to disappear one by one, Sadie and Jenny will have to solve riddles and fight through the Grimm Brothers' darkest fairy tales if any of them are going to make it out of the forest alive. With complex characters, intriguing mysteries, and just the right amount of magic, Black Forest Bound is a unique twist on the fairy tale genre and an exciting adventure that will keep you up at night.
