Don't Let The Forest In by Cg Drews

As alluring as it is unsettling, award-winning author CG Drews' debut YA psychological horror will leave readers breathless and hesitant to venture deeper into the woods. Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him. High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for the only person who can ground him to reality—Thomas Rye, the boy with perpetually ink-stained hands and hair like autumn leaves. And with his twin sister, Dove, inexplicably keeping him at a cold distance upon their return to Wickwood Academy, Andrew finds himself leaning on his friend even more. But something strange is going on with Thomas. His abusive parents have mysteriously vanished, and he arrives at school with blood on his sleeve. Thomas won't say a word about it, and shuts down whenever Andrew tries to ask him questions...

Animorphs Book 45: The Revelation by K. A. Applegate

Marco’s dad makes a breakthrough and it endangers his life. Marco has to make some difficult decisions quickly and not everything works out as he’d hoped. I used to read this one over and over, especially the scene in the car.‬

I like this one, a lot. It’s definitely a point of no return for the series, something fundamental has changed that cannot be mitigated. To be clear, I mostly like the change, and I consider the changes to come to be good, narratively. This particular installment is bittersweet, mostly good but with an edge to it.
