Description
After she's imprisoned in an alternate dimension in the woods, closeted Rudy must outmaneuver vicious creatures and come to terms with her identity, or risk being bound to the forest forever. Grief-stricken after her mom's death, she questions her sexuality while caring for her little brother, her only source of comfort. After her ex-boyfriend vanishes in the nearby woodland, she is sure her grief has reached its limit. . . until the girl she's crushing on disappears, too. Police scour the woods, missing posters are plastered on every street corner, and Rudy is determined to protect her brother from more heartache. Yet when her dead mother beckons her inside the forest, Rudy can't resist her mom's embrace and is ensnared in an alternate realm: a prison within the forest created by diabolical goblins, gnomes, and pixies. There, she finds her captivating crush, a host of other missing teens, and her jealous ex-terrified, starved, but miraculously alive. Rudy wants nothing more than to reunite with her brother, to be free of the confusion her ex and crush arise in her. But escape won't be easy. The magic binding her to the forest is elusive, and so are the creatures' motives. As resources dwindle and goblins clash, so do the trapped teens as they scramble to piece together their captors' plans. The forest is just another closet, and if Rudy is to survive, she must unlock its secrets, outmaneuver the vicious creatures, and come to terms with her inescapable identity-or risk being bound to the forest forever. *** Updates every Tuesday and Friday!
