A girl makes a secret sacrifice to the faerie king in this lush New York Times best-selling fantasy by author Holly Black.
In the woods is a glass coffin. It rests on the ground, and in it sleeps a boy with horns on his head and ears as pointed as knives...
Hazel and her brother, Ben, live in Fairfold, where humans and the Folk exist side by side. Since they were children, Hazel and Ben have been telling each other stories about the boy in the glass coffin, that he is a prince and they are valiant knights, pretending their prince would be different from the other faeries, the ones who made cruel bargains, lurked in the shadows of trees, and doomed tourists. But as Hazel grows up, she puts aside those stories. Hazel knows the horned boy will never wake.
Until one day, he does...
As the world turns upside down, Hazel has to become the knight she once pretended to be.
The Darkest Part of the Forest is best-selling author Holly Black's triumphant return to the opulent, enchanting faerie tales that launched her YA career.

Critic reviews
"Teens with a yen for dark, futuristic novels, and maybe even a few Anne Rice readers, will find this a refreshing take on vampire lit. As always, Black's writing is quick paced and thought-provoking. A must-have for any teen collection." (School Library Journal)
"With rapid-fire dialogue, lavish details, and a wildly imagined world, this will enthrall Black's fans from start to finish and leave them hoping for another bone-chilling vicarious tour of Coldtown." (Booklist)
"You may be ready to put a stake in vampire lit, but read this first: It's dark and dangerous, bloody, and brilliant." (Kirkus)

I didn't want to read this book because it didn't really relate to Carden and Jude, but I am glad I did. I feel as if this needs a second book to help explain a bit more about Jack...
UGH!!

Though this was an earlier book by the author, their story telling is still beautiful and clever, and makes the world of fae feel like it's right outside, nearly in your grasp. Anyone who grew up enjoying stories of fairies and things that go bump in the night will love this book and author.
