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...

Clear Your Shit: Walking was a bad decision (Animal)

After a long time spent walking, I began to regret the decision to complete the quest on foot. It was really a very bad call, but one that it wasn't really possible to fix until we made it to the next town. After two more days of walking we arrived in the town of Skoobville and asked around for the nearest stable with horses for adventurers. Apparently we were supposed to see someone named El, since we're on a quest for the Wizard. 

El was helpful if a bit brusque, and we left with two horses, Strawberry (for me) and Blaze (for Heather). Both horses' saddles had tiny stone dogs affixed as charms, two on each side. Reading while riding is so much better than reading while walking, and I was able to finish Daimonion by J. P. Jackson, a horror novel with lots of creatures, demonic and otherwise. It was also kind of spooky, so I was a little on edge as we rode along in the waning afternoon.
