Über diesen Titel
'Strikes the perfect balance between fairytale and terror' JAMISON SHEA, author of I Feed Her to the Beast
'A vividly imagined page-turner with a thought-provoking take on gender inequality' KATHRYN FOXFIELD, author of Good Girls Die First
Inspired by Bavarian folklore, Season of Fear is a beautifully dark feminist fairytale for fans of Ava Reid and Hannah Whitten, which features a seductive lesbian romance and explores the power in being different and accepting yourself for who you are.

BLOOD SPILLS FROM VEINS, SKIN STARTS TO CRACK, IGNORE THE FOREST; TURN BACK, TURN BACK...
In the village of Heulensee, Ilse Odenwald dreams of being afraid. Because in Heulensee, fearfulness is next to godliness.
A monstrous forest borders the village – the Hexenwald. Its horrors attack every time the sky turns blood-red. The townsfolk’s only defence comes from the gruesome, ancient Saint of Fear, who demands the women and girls offer up their terror in return for its protection.
Born without the ability to feel fear, Ilse is an outsider. As hard as she tries, she cannot bring forth the dread that the Saint of Fear demands. When it discovers her divergence, the Saint levels a threat: Ilse must find her fear, or it will devour her sister.
Unable to lose Thea, the only person who understands her, Ilse enters the Hexenwald, hoping that the monsters it harbours will finally scare her. But the forest is hiding a multitude of secrets and Ilse is about to discover that there’s much more than fear to be found within...

The central premise is compelling. The twists, whilst relatively predictable, are nevertheless well delivered and enjoyable to unpack.
My only real criticism is the ending. The story feels as if it suffers from too many endings. It would have been fine to end without every question answered and every plot point wrapped up.
The resolution to the central tension is natural, but it would have been better if the protagonist had played a larger role in thinking of it. The result is that the resolution really happens to the protagonist, not because of them.
Criticisms aside, a top tier read than I would recommend without reservation.
