Another great book by Mark Edwards. Just the right amount of twists and turns, a very atmospheric and spine-chilling read. It's easy to feel yourself right there in a cabin the woods, which is spooky enough without all the eerie goings on, as Mark has a knack of immersing the reader in the book so it feels as though you are living through the characters' adventures. The dark tourism angle is really interesting, if a little macabre when you think about it, but it was different and with all the true crime shows on TV it's easy to see why scenes of crimes and killers may have a following. The characters are all very likeable - well most of them - and like the majority of Mark's books this would make a great film. If you're a fan of Mark's previous books, this won't disappoint.

This is another great book by Mark Edwards and he remains one of my favourite authors.
The book is dark, creepy and atmospheric. It easily drew me in and I finished it in one sitting.
It’s not my favourite one from him but I would definitely recommend it.

Tom’s life is in pieces; his marriage is over and his career as a journalist is headed south fast. He decides to spend some quality time with the daughter he rarely sees. They decide to spend their break at the Hollow Falls, in a cabin in a remote corner of Maine. The cabin is creepy as hell and strange noises plague father and daughter. It’s not until they meet a couple of true crime again podcasters that they learn about the grisly murders that occurred there twenty years earlier. No one was ever convicted and the woods are now filled with social media “wannabe” detectives trying to solve the case. It looks like Tom’s chance for a peaceful vacation are out the window. Edwards provides his trademark creepy plotline, and fans will eat it up

I’m a fan of Mark Edwards and have enjoyed all his previous books, I was delighted to receive an ARC of his new book The Hollows.
Tom is looking forward to travelling to America from his home in England to spend time with his fourteen year old daughter Frankie. He has booked a ten day trip to a cabin resort in Maine called Hollow Falls.
Strange things start to happen after they arrive. Items are going missing from cabins, there are rumours of ghostly figures and then he finds out that this place is famous for a double murder that happened twenty years ago.
I enjoyed this book and read it in a day because I didn’t want to put it down. The story was creepy and full of tension.
Thank you to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.
