Rick Riordan Presents: It Waits in the Forest
The very first thriller from Rick Riordan Presents! Drawing from the darkest corners of Caribbean mythology, acclaimed author Sarah Dass crafts a chilling tale of magic, murder, and how far we’ll go to protect what’s ours—perfect for fans of Angeline Boulley and Tiffany D. Jackson.
Unlike the other residents of the small Caribbean Island of St. Virgil, Selina DaSilva does not believe in magic. With a logical mind and a knack for botany, Selina used to dream of leaving the island to study Pharmacology—until a vicious, unsolved attack left her father dead and her mother in a coma.
Now her guilt over her mother’s condition keeps her tethered to the island, relegated to conning gullible tourists with useless talismans and phony protection rituals. But when one of those tourists ends up at the center of a string of strange murders, the truth that Selina has been denying can no longer be avoided: there is evil lurking in the forests that surround St. Virgil. Another thing that can’t be avoided? Selina’s ex-boyfriend Gabriel, newly employed at the local newspaper and eager to put his investigative skills to use.
Desperate to put an end to the killings and claim justice for Selina’s family, these two former lovers race to find answers. But evil bides its time. And as long-buried feelings and long-hidden secrets about Selina’s family’s past begin to reveal themselves, only one answer remains—and it waits in the forest.

Reviews for "Unraveling the Enchantment: Exploring the Magic of the Forest Book"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Magic of the Forest Book". The plot was predictable, and the characters lacked depth. The main protagonist was a cliché, and it felt like I had read the same story before. The writing style was also lackluster, with repetitive phrases and a lack of descriptive language. Overall, it failed to captivate me and left me feeling unimpressed.
2. John - 1 star - I couldn't stand "The Magic of the Forest Book". The story was incredibly slow-paced and boring. The author's attempt at world-building fell flat, with little explanation or detail given about the magical elements. The dialogue was also awkward and unrealistic, making it difficult to connect with the characters. I struggled to get through this book and found myself skimming through pages just to finish it. I would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - "The Magic of the Forest Book" was a major letdown. The writing was disjointed and the pacing was all over the place. The plot was confusing and difficult to follow, with jumps in time and events that weren't adequately explained. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real development. I found myself struggling to care about their fates. The potential for an interesting story was there, but it fell short in execution. I was disappointed and would not read another book by this author.
