The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert

3*
This was a very original tale, with a strange but enjoyable plot, creepy in places even.
The Hazel Wood is about a mother and daughter on the run from what they call the ‘Bad Luck’ which turns out to actually be something much more sinister.
Obsessed with fairytales, Alice comes to find that there are scarier versions of the much loved stories out there, to do with a place named The Hinterland.
Solidly written with a decent twist towards the end, The Hazel Wood was enjoyable, the pace although slow at times, kept me interested and I’d like to see what this author writes next.
