In A Dark Wood
review 1: Technically, I read In a Dark Wood as part of his short stories vol 1 collection In Sunshine and In Shadow but since I read The Parting Glass before finishing the collection, I thought it only fitting to post the reviews together. Once I finish the collection, I will do a review for that too.Tim and Luke completely blew me away and In A Dark Wood is perfect for this time of year. The plot is straight out of a cheesy 1980s horror film but the writing is nothing short of 1940s Hollywood classic. The only complaint I would have is it's brevity. But then it was pointed out to me that The Parting Glass is a sequel with all the life and romantic drama that there wasn't time for in Dark Wood. Once again, we see Tim and Luke coming face to face about 2+ years following DW. T... morehings didn't exactly go smoothly for the pair in the months after the Forester case and now when fate finds them standing in the same ticket line 2 years later, how will they react? Only Josh Lanyon can pack so much emotion and "wow-ness" into roughly 110 pages combined.
review 2: This is so getting 4★'s JUST FOR THAT ENDING. This book killed me. The first was all Blair Witch and scary with a hint of dark and sad but this, this was just emotionally crushing to me. Completely different than the first book. I think there are things that I don't like to read about and with this book I realize one of those things is addiction. This was so very sad for me and I just felt scared the entire read. Scared that Tim would fall off the wagon, scared that there wasn’t going to be a HEA, really, just scared. The ending was beautiful though so all else is forgiven! less

Masterfully written, poignant and gripping. However, the ending came somewhat rushed.

Each Word Beautifully Placed for the Greatest Effect. Masterful.
