Direwood by Catherine Yu Book Review

” Direwood” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. No one ever pays attention to sixteen-year-old Aja until her perfect older sister Fiona goes missing. In the days leading up to Fiona’s disappearance, Aja notices some extraordinary things: a strange fog rolling through their idyllic suburban town, a brief moment when the sky seems to rain blood, and a host of parasitic caterpillars burrowing their way through the trees. Aja’s father, the neighbors, and even her ex-friend Mary all play down this strange string of occurrences, claiming there must be some natural explanation. It seems everyone is willing to keep living in denial until other teens start to go missing too. Aja is horrified when she meets Padraic, the vampire responsible for all the strange occurrences. His hypnotic voice lures her to the window and tells her everything she’s longed to hear―she’s beautiful and special, and he wants nothing more than for Aja to come with him. Aja knows she shouldn’t trust him, but she’s barely able to resist his enthrallment. And following him into the woods may be the only way to find Fiona, so she agrees on one condition: He must let her leave alive if she is not wooed after one week. Though Aja plans to kill him before the week is out, Padraic has his own secrets as well. In the misty woods, Aja finds that Padraic has made his nest with another vampire in a dilapidated church infested by blood-sucking butterflies. Within its walls, the vampires are waited on and entertained by other children they’ve enthralled, but there is no sign of Fiona. Before her bargain is up, Aja must find a way to turn her classmates against their captors, find her sister, and save them all―or be forced to join the very monsters she wants to destroy.

Brief Direwood

DIREWOOD is an intriguing YA fantasy/horror about sisterhood and emotion. Aja is a younger sister to the completely perfect Fiona. She has a lot of feelings about it, quite complicated at heart, but she does care for Fiona deeply. Shortly after her birthday, Fiona disappears, and when Aja is approached by a deadly creature named Padraic at night, she bargains with him for a week when she will be safe in his realm, hoping to find her sister and destroy him before returning home. However, once she travels with him through the deadly fog, she finds a strange church and the missing teens from her town who have been enthralled by Padraic and his fellow vampire, Kate. Finding the answers she needs and her sister seem more impossible than she imagined, as her own survival is anything but certain. What I loved: This is a really atmospheric read that pulls the reader in at the start. Aja has always seen things a bit differently, and she recognizes the strange omens that everyone else brushes off. She has strong emotions regarding her sister, the town where she lives and their microaggressions, the feelings of importance that being the favorite give her, and complicated emotions around the other teens who have been enthralled. That feeling of wanting something more and to be better/more powerful is one that will resonate with teens and feeds into the reason why so many have gone with the vampires.
