Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Suspenseful and richly atmospheric, June Hur's The Forest of Stolen Girls is a haunting historical mystery sure to keep readers guessing until the last page. 1426, Joseon (Korea). Hwani's family has never been the same since she and her younger sister went missing and were later found unconscious in the forest near a gruesome crime scene. Years later, Detective Min―Hwani's father―learns that thirteen girls have recently disappeared from the same forest that nearly stole his daughters. He travels to their hometown on the island of Jeju to investigate… only to vanish as well. Determined to find her father and solve the case that tore their family apart, Hwani returns home to pick up the trail. As she digs into the secrets of the small village―and collides with her now estranged sister, Maewol―Hwani comes to realize that the answer could lie within her own buried memories of what happened in the forest all those years ago.

     THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD!

    I loved the setting being in 1426 I don't think I've read a Historical mystery that was set so far back in time. I really enjoyed the writing style a lot! The atmosphere is SPECTACULAR, June does an amazing job setting the scene. The mystery through the book was really fun! I was questioning everyone and everything which is always what I want from a good mystery. I will say, its a little gruesome in some parts so be sure to check any triggers!

    The cover is also gorgeous 😍
