PRAISE FOR THE WICKED WOODS

Another addicting new series from Ms. Gow. Briony is the perfect mix of kick-butt teen heroine, flaws, and teen angst. The town of Wicked is vivid, and the colorful inhabitants there are at once familiar, yet new. I love the relationship between Aunt Sophie and Briony best, but the two hot brothers vying for Brionys love spices things up, too!

Naya's Girls Night Out Book Picks

Intrigue, mystery involving a missing family, creepy setting, colorful characters in an idyllic resort-like town and a paranormal plot filled with twists and turns delivered in a fun and engaging style; the Wicked Woods is now one of my favorite *spoiler* werewolf young adult series. The family relationship theme, the handling of difficult teen high school issues such as bullying and trying to fit in puts this teenage series in the must read for teens book list.

Amber Johnson, age 24

Mysterious, scary, fun, funny, and promising. Wicked Woods rock!

Susan, early 20s.

Im hooked. Wicked Woods is a fictitious place, isnt it? You could have fooled me. Like Forks in Twilight, I totally thought this was a real place. Gows world-building is amazing. Briony seems so real in how she thinks and acts. I cant tell you how much I love Aunt Sophie. Truly a book and promising book series where the women, young and old, are amazing.

When Breena turns sixteen, she begins seeing fairies and other creatures mortals don t see. Her best friend Logan, suddenly acts very protective. Then she sees Kian, who seems intent on finding her and carrying her off to Feyland. That's fine and all, but for the fact that humans rarely survive a trip to Feyland, a kiss from a fairy generally means death to the human unless that human has fairy blood in them or is very strong, and although Kian seemed to be her intended, he seems to hate her and wants her dead.

For my amazing team of editors, cover artist, PR and marketing team. Thank you for helping me continue the story of Briony and the people of Wicked Woods.

Thank you to my husband, who every month, takes me up to the mountains and into the woods to this little town that inspired Wicked Woods. The town is fascinating, yet the woodland beyond is even more fascinating. Who lives in that vast wilderness, I do not knowI only know that whatever you do, enjoy your trekinto the woods, the wildly wicked, Wicked Woods.

Prologue

B riony did not know much about Wicked Woods when her parents and little brother went out to Great Aunt Sophie and Uncle Petes bed and breakfast inn at the edge of the Wicked Woods in Wicked, Massachusetts. She was able to avoid knowing more about the Wicked Woods by attending cheerleading camp instead, rather than visit her elderly relatives with her family. That had been months ago, and now Briony wished she knew more about Wicked Woods, wished she had bothered before her parents and brother Jake went missing there. If she wasnt so caught up in her cheerleading, her high school social life, and drive to be popular there; her parents, Jake, and Uncle Pete might still be here today. If she had known about the inhabitants of Wicked Woods, she would have warned them, kept them from going. But it was too late.
