Jag har varit sugen på boken sedan jag hörde talas om den. Jag är väldigt svag för böcker om sagor och den här boken låter perfekt, och jag blev inte besviken.
Den säljs som ungdomsbok men saknar det vanliga kärleksproblemen och handlar istället om det den ska, själva berättelsen, mysteriet med Alice och hennes mamma och mormor som hon aldrig träffat. Jag fastnade direkt i berättelsen och läste ut boken på två dagar.
“She talked like a woman who knew more books than people.”
“I remembered less from my own life than I did from the books I read.”
“You might think it’s strange, but you get used to those karmic moments in the book business. Books want to be read, and by the right people. There’s nothing surprising in it, not to me.”

"Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice's life on the road, always a step ahead of the strange bad luck biting at their heels. But when Alice's grandmother, the reclusive author of a book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate - the Hazel Wood - Alice learns how bad her luck can really get. Her mother is stolen, by a figure who claims to come from the cruel supernatural world from her grandmother's stories. Alice's only lead is the message her mother left behind: STAY AWAY FROM THE HAZEL WOOD. To retrieve her mother, Alice must venture first to the Hazel Wood, then into the world where her grandmother's tales began . . ."
