Hollow Pike by James Dawson (author) (UK edition)

A gripping YA thriller from award-winning writer Juno Dawson, with a dash of romance and intriguing paranormal elements, set in Hollow Pike – a small town with a big history of witchcraft.

Something wicked this way comes…

Lis London thought she’d be safe in the country, but even in the country she can’t escape her own nightmares. Over and over, she dreams that someone is trying to kill her.

Lis thinks she’s being paranoid – after all, who would want to murder her? She doesn’t believe in the local legends of witchcraft. She doesn’t believe that anything bad will really happen to her.

But you never know do, do you? Not until you’re alone in the woods, after dark – and a twig snaps…

really great twists

Hollow Pike is a very interesting, surprising and adventurous book, it combines things such as bullying and murder mystery with witchcraft, which is actually a great combination. My favorite character in this is Kitty, she's a really outgoing, 'doesn't care what anyone thinks about her' person, which is nice to have as one of the good characters. The main character, Liz, is very loveable and she's a character that you can easily feel a connection with. There's a few really great twists in the plot and it also has a really great ending, this is a book that I would recommend anyone to read as I believe it's enjoyable for everyone!
