Book Review: The Waking Forest

Book: The Waking Forest

Author: Alyssa Wees

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an advanced audio copy.


I don’t know what I just read but I do know I liked it. This was nothing like what I was expecting. The Waking Forest is a dark and twisted fairy tale that I really enjoyed.

My biggest complaint about the book was it was a little slow to get going. Once it did get going I really enjoyed the ride. The summary of the book barely scratched the surface of what this book is. It was filled with magic and fantasy that I was not expecting.

Rhea sees a forest in her backyard but it disappears every time she gets close. She needed to know more and so did I. As the secrets of the forest were explained I was more and more hooked all the way to the conclusion.

This book was a dark fairy tale version of the movie Inception. Definitely check it out.

Final Score: 4/5
