Sweetly
Jackson Pearce2011

« Deep inside the dark forest there's a wicked witch, who lives in a house made of chocolate and liquorice. »
As a child, Gretchen's twin sister was taken by a witch in the woods. Ever since, Gretchen and her brother, Ansel, have felt the long branches of the witch's forest threatening to make them disappear, too. When their stepmother casts Gretchen and Ansel out as teens, they stumble upon a sleepy Southern town and are invited to stay with Sophia Kelly at her sweet shop. Life seems idyllic and Gretchen and Ansel finally start to forget their haunted past - until Gretchen meets local outcast Samuel, who gives Gretchen a reason to fear Sophia: girls have been vanishing at Sophia's annual chocolate festival, taken by the insatiable 'witch' of Gretchen's nightmares.
