Into the Woods by Josh Soule
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In 16th century England, three young men grew up as brothers. Raised by the local Priest, John, Thomas and Henry were never far form each other, always looking out for each other. One day, they notice that the local livestock is being repeatedly attacked and that the attacks are too vicious to be anything normal. When they remember the legends about demons within their forests, they are determined to discover just what is going on. However, as they start to unravel clues and mysteries, they are finding out that they might not know each other as they thought they did.
This was a delightfully dark tale full of mystery and a little bit of horror thrown in, comparable to the tale of the headless rider for me. I really liked the plot and the writing style, it kept me entertained throughout. The three boys were great main characters and their individual issues and perceptions gave a wonderful nuanced worldview that enriched the story.
