Expected publication: April 20th 2021 by Feiwel & Friends
Synopsis (via Goodreads): After her father vanishes while investigating the disappearance of 13 young women, a teen returns to her secretive hometown to pick up the trail in this second YA historical mystery from the author of The Silence of Bones.
Hwani's family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went missing and were later found unconscious in the forest, near a gruesome crime scene. The only thing they remember: Their captor wore a painted-white mask.
To escape the haunting memories of this incident, the family flees their hometown. Years later, Detective Min—Hwani's father—learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared under similar circumstances, and so he returns to their hometown to investigate... only to vanish as well.
Determined to find her father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns home to pick up the trail. As she digs into the secrets of the small village—and reconnects with her now estranged sister—Hwani comes to realize that the answer lies within her own buried memories of what happened in the forest all those years ago.

I like the sound of The Forest of Stolen Girls, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteIt sounds wonderfully eerie! I already want to know why they were taken, what happened, and why neither of them can remember anything.
DeleteOh nice pick! That's a new to me one. I hope you enjoy it once you get to read it!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

It's probably just going to be tacked on to the long list of books already on my TBR! 🤣
DeleteThe Forest of Stolen Girls sounds good! A little creepy! I wonder what's going on in the forest...
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I've been in the mood for creepy books! I think it's because Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis left me wanting more.
DeleteI really want to read The Forest of Stolen Girls too. I need to start putting when books release in my planner or something because 2021 has SOOOO many.

I think publishers postponed a lot of their release dates, so we're seeing A LOT of books coming out this year. I'm super excited about this one though!
DeleteThe Forest of Stolen Girls sounds amazing. Not something I would typically gravitate to, but it definitely sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI don't normally seek out creepy/spooky reads, but that's weirdly what I've been in the mood for lately. Have you heard of Initial Insult by Mindy McGinnis? It's a Poe retelling!
DeleteOoh! The Forest of Stolen Girls sounds really good!!
ReplyDeleteI actually thought of you when I posted this one! I was like, "It sounds spooky... definitely something Erica would like!" 🤣
DeleteThe Forest of Stole Girls sounds good! Do you know what time it takes place during?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I have no idea! I just read the synopsis and thought it sounded interesting.
DeleteThose first two are very cool covers!

Cover art is one of the reasons I love comics so much!
DeleteThe forest of stolen girls has a beautiful cover, but the story is intriguing too ! Oh, Gerard Way, reading that name starts a lot of music in my head :D
ReplyDeleteSame. 🤣 He's a really fantastic writer! Have you seen The Umbrella Academy series on Netflix? It's based on his comics.
DeleteIt's nice to almost be caught up. I just seem to have no motivation for much these days.
ReplyDeleteWhat is motivation? Haha! I have to make myself be productive these days. I'm ready for things to go back to normal, and I'm worried this IS our new normal. 🙃
