This is a fantastic debut, well written and teeming with clever references, witty lines and colourful characters that I fully appreciated. Bang on trend with its witchcraft-y elements and sporting a stunning, eye-catching cover, it's perfect for anyone who loves paranormal YA, but is looking for something just a little bit different. The Cait Files 20120202 Hands up who read the Point Horror books? If you did, you'll recognise the style of this teenage horror - jumps, scares and airport-thriller-type cliffhanger chapter endings. Not that any of those are bad things mind... gripping, and the intricacies of teenage relationships are well told. -- Rhiannon Davies SFX 20120301 ...a brilliant book that captures the true nature of secondary school so very well Mostly Reading YA 20120202 A fabulous debut that had me looking over my shoulder while reading.

Hollow Pike is the perfect book for teens who love spooky stories or just great literature, and especially those who, like I did at that age, feel like they don't quite fit in with the majority of their peers.
