Summary
In her village, fearfulness is next to godliness. The women of the village feed their terror to an ancient Saint. In return, it protects them from the monsters of the Hexenwald—the horror-filled forest on their doorstep. Born unfearing, Ilse has felt like an outsider all her life. When the Saint discovers Ilse’s divergence, it levels a threat. She must find her fear, or it will devour her sister.
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Season of Fear immediately hooked me. It’s about a core of sisterhood, what we would do for them, and what sacrifices we would make. But it’s also about love and corruption. There’s this religion, and climate of fear quite literally. And I immediately fell in love with Ilse and how desperately she wants to belong. But sometimes, we can’t get what we want. In this community, being unafraid is seen as dangerous and what recourse do we have? Nowadays, having a character whose world is run by fears, and she is fearless, is this instant connection. Add the dangerous forest in and so ready!
Season of Fear is mixed up with powers bigger than us, supernatural forests, and more secrets than we can even imagine. Cooper creates this world where humanity and fears are connected. With fantastic fall spooky vibes, Season of Fear is perfect to usher in the cooler weather. And don’t even get me started on the swoons! I was fully transported with this one!
