Book Description
The woods were ours.
Where we played.
Where we hid.
And where it all fell apart.
It was a hundred acres of history that stood between us.
We came from different worlds. Hers, poor and twisted. Mine, full of power and sin.
Honey is sweet, but so is revenge.
About KC Enders
KC Enders was nominated for the 2021Thorpe Menn Award for Literary Excellence.
Karin is a New York Girl living in a Midwest world. A connoisseur of great words, fine bourbon, and strong coffee, she’s married to the love of her life who is also her best friend. The mother of two grown men, she is proud to say that they can cook, open car doors for the ladies, and clean up after themselves (you’re welcome, world). Even though her boys no longer live at home, the big dogs, full of personality, that she’s rescued have taken up any empty space. In a weak attempt to fill all her free time, she enjoys assembling IKEA furniture (sometimes without the instructions for a serious challenge) and knits with friends at her local Starbucks on Wednesday nights.

My Thoughts
Into the Woods by KC Enders is a compelling and dark romance that provides a captivating, twisted spin on a classic tale. Narrated effectively by Allie Martina and Gideon Frost, the audiobook successfully conveys the story's necessary depth, darkness, and emotion.
The narrative introduces a morally gray world where childhood games devolve into messy, fiery adulthood. Winnie finds herself "lost in the woods" in more ways than one, coming from a poor and complicated background. Her world violently clashes with that of Christophe, who was groomed since birth to take over a world "full of power and sin"—a dark "family business." Fate brings these two together across the hundred acres of history that once separated them.
While Enders excels at character development, providing a clear background on Winnie and her complex lifestyle, the information provided for Christophe is notably fragmented. Although the intense attraction between them is immediately palpable, leading to a lot of fiery chemistry, the reader only receives bits and pieces of his history. This makes it difficult to fully grasp the motivation behind his actions, which often cast doubt on whether his intense feelings for Winnie are driven by genuine love or purely by lust.
The plot features a blend of dark romance and fantasy elements, quickly drawing the reader in. However, the reader may occasionally question Christophe's supposed love, particularly since any "touch her and I’ll kill you" protective moments only fully surface after he himself has placed Winnie in harm's way. Despite a slight desire for more depth in the main male character's backstory and a few more overtly possessive moments, this is a highly engaging and fast-paced read. Enders successfully creates a world where the two main characters might just burn the whole damn woods down.
