Lià Munro has recently moved to a country
home in Australia from Hong Kong with her father, Paul. The home that they
inhabit is a haunted old building in need of reconstruction. Of the ghosts
present here, Adelina Rosso is the most powerful. Paul has a past that connects
him with Adelina but the witch has other motives, especially when she realizes
that Lià holds incredible powers of her own. Adelina sees this as an
opportunity to bring back her youth while also raising her beloved husband,
Giancarlo, from near death. Everything changes when the terminally ill criminal
Karl Haberman enters the fray, joining forces with Adelina to search for Lia
and harvest her soul to revitalize their own bodies.
The
Crying Forest by Venero Armanno is a perfect read
for fans of paranormal tales that feature magic and exceptionally written
characters. Readers will experience chills as they follow these characters
through the complex plot points. The plot follows a gifted young girl who has
discovered she has unique abilities and who is pitted against adversaries far
superior to her. The protagonist has to mold her strength and willpower to
defeat an evil that has existed in Italian folklore for far too long.
Venero Armanno is a great storyteller with
a unique gift for writing characters that are believable in a tale that is
extraordinary. Each character arc is masterful, the prose is gorgeous,
sprinkled with terrific descriptions and unsettling imagery. For me, this was a
stunning introduction to a writer with a unique literary voice and bold
writing. The Crying Forest is
cunningly plotted and executed with mastery. The hypnotic prose melds magic
with metaphor in a way that is seamless and the deft handling of conflict lifts
the entertainment potential of the narrative.
