Happy Sunday! I’m back today with “Sundays in Bed With….” a meme dares to ask what book has been in your bed this morning. Come share what book you’ve spent time curled up reading in bed, or which book you wish you had time to read today! The meme was originally hosted by Midnight Book Girl.
We had a huge snow storm this weekend with blizzard-like conditions and ended up with just over 23 inches of snow. So, it’s a perfect day to stay in the warm house and cuddle up with a good book. Today, I’m in bed with:
In a Dark, Dark Wood by Cece Louise
This is the fourth book in The Forest Tales ya fantasy series, and I’m loving it so far! It has some great Gothic vibes, and the characters are fantastic, as is the very slow-building romance. Let’s check it out:
About the Book:
Title: In a Dark, Dark Wood
Author: Cece Louise
Series: The Forest Tales #4
Publication Date: Feb. 22, 2022
Publisher: Jabberwocky Tales
Synopsis: In a dark, dark wood, there was a dark, dark man . . .
Calia believes in ghosts. How could she not when she is haunted by a past encounter that sent her into hiding? She concocts a plan so crazy, it just might save her— if it doesn’t lead to her downfall. All she has to do is impersonate a missing princess and fulfill that princess’s betrothal to the Prince of Ebonwood.
Prince Brone believes in nothing—certainly not the curse rumored to plague the royal wives of Ebonwood. After the untimely death of his first wife, all he wishes is to be left alone. Once more facing a marriage not of his choosing, he vows not to make the same mistakes that cost him so dearly last time.
Calia soon discovers that fooling the prince will be much harder than she thought. As her complicated feelings for him begin to grow, so does her fear of Ebonwood—a kingdom shrouded in darkness, secrets, and even murder.
Will a warning from beyond the grave save Calia from the fate of the previous Ebonwood wives, or will it spell her ultimate ruin?
Inspired by the classic poem “In a Dark, Dark Wood,” this clean, standalone romantic suspense is perfect for anyone who loves fairy tales with a Gothic twist.
What are you reading today? Comment below!
That looks like a *fabulous* choice for Sunday … Though, I think I’d favour a dark and stormy night over a cheerful sunny morning? (We had a rare bit of winter sun today …)
I’d prefer dark and stormy night too. lol
That cover is fantastic! I haven’t heard of this one before.
Isn’t it great? I love all the covers in this series, and the stories are so good. Simple but strong YA fantasy.
Thanks for sharing! I’m so happy that you got to curl up and enjoy the book this past weekend. 23 inches of snow is insane!!! Stay warm 🙂
Thanks, Cece! It was definitely a winter wonderland here for a few days. lol Tomorrow, we are getting an ice storm, and school’s already cancelled. Happy weekend!
