From New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep comes a haunting romance perfect for fans of Practical Magic,where dark fairy tales and enchanted folklore collide after a boy, believed to be missing, emerges from the magical woods—and falls in love with the witch determined to unravel his secrets. Be careful of the dark, dark wood… Especially the woods surrounding the town of Fir Haven. Some say these woods are magical. Haunted, even. Rumored to be a witch, only Nora Walker knows the truth. She and the Walker women before her have always shared a special connection with the woods. And it’s this special connection that leads Nora to Oliver Huntsman—the same boy who disappeared from the Camp for Wayward Boys weeks ago—and in the middle of the worst snowstorm in years. He should be dead, but here he is alive, and left in the woods with no memory of the time he’d been missing. But Nora can feel an uneasy shift in the woods at Oliver’s presence. And it’s not too long after that Nora realizes she has no choice but to unearth the truth behind how the boy she has come to care so deeply about survived his time in the forest, and what led him there in the first place. What Nora doesn’t know, though, is that Oliver has secrets of his own—secrets he’ll do anything to keep buried, because as it turns out, he wasn’t the only one to have gone missing on that fateful night all those weeks ago. For as long as there have been fairy tales, we have been warned to fear what lies within the dark, dark woods and in Winterwood, New York Times bestselling author Shea Ernshaw, shows us why.

Reviewed by Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>"A thing found can't be unfound."</i></b></blockquote> This one missed the mark for me, unfortunately. I really love Earnshaw's atmospheric writing, how she can make you submerge into the story and is able to create complex, flawed, realistic characters - even while writing about magic and paranormal stuff. But what I loved about The Wicked Deep was how unpredictable the story was and how I could connect with the characters. That didn't happen here. Not only I was able to guess everything that was happening almost 25% in, I just couldn't connect with Nora...after a while, her constant repetition that 'she wasn't a true Walker because she didn't have any powers' got tiring. I also didn't care much about the romance (I thought it was too much too soon), and I thought the ending was very good...up until the big revelation regarding Nora. It was the easy way out and left some things out. It was still an enjoyable read, but definitely not my favorite.
Reviewed by Kathrin It took me a long time to decide how many stars I should give this book. There were moments were I just didn‘t get a grip on the book and there were times were I fell truly in love with the writing and the atmosphere and the characters! So in the end I gave it four unsteady stars. To begin with, we have Nora the teenage witch, a deep and scary forest and a mystery to solve on roughly 300 sides. It‘s an easy relaxing read, but definitely not boring! The writing was sometimes distant but at the same time this created an almost magical atmosphere. If I had to describe this book in one word it would be: atmosphere! I‘ve never read a book were I felt so much atmosphere escape from the pages. It gave me a melancholic feeling and I love feeling this way! I also liked how the author described the relationship between the characters, it felt very realistic but, at some times, I found it weird at times how Nora could develop such strong feelings towards Oliver in such a short time considering his background. For the plot, well... I figured out the whole plot out at roughly 50% into reading. But this didn‘t take away any tension as more of making me excited too see if I was really right. In the end I liked this book a lot, it felt like a short escape from reality and I could drift off into the world Shea Sherwood created.
