See the beautiful gif below of a willow tree woman all serene and peaceful...THIS AIN’T THAT BOOK!



First off, I had no idea this was the author of THE TWISTED ONES, I loved that book too! I live in my own little bubble. (I wish I could have my own bubble because - nevermind) This particular book went to my favorites list!! I love the hell out of it and I am preordering the paperback!!

I freaking love the characters! Kara (Carrot) moves in with her uncle at his WONDER MUSEUM after her divorce. All of the taxidermy and weird stuff doesn’t bother her as she grew up there. And next door there is the coffee shop that Simon runs. He also lives above the shop and Kara’s uncle owns that building too. Simon is a sweet pea!! He’s gay and he’s hilarious. Oh I can’t wait to get the book to add ALL the quotes.

The Hollow Places is creepy as hell and freaking hilarious! I haven’t laughed out loud this hard in a long time. The scary and humor and quaintness of the museum have a wonderful balance. The friendship between Kara and Simon are spot on...well...if you’re lucky enough to have friends like that!!

Soooooo....uncle goes into surgery and leaves Kara to watch the museum while he gets better at her moms house. Kara finds a hole in the wall and things get cray from there!! I mean scary, whackado and all things in between!



We have creepy willows, shadow things, scary people, other worlds, bizarre bunkers, deranged taxidermist raccoons and the list goes on.

I just want to highly recommend this book if you like a bit of humor with your horror books!

Claude's Bookzone Looks really good. Great review, Melissa!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin Thank you doll!! I picked up the kindle on sale but I had already read it 😊


Nenia ✨ I yeet my books back and forth ✨ Campbell I'm honestly surprised no one has turned her horror novels into TV mini series yet.

Great review!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin I know right?! Everything else is becoming a show or movie! Maybe someone will catch on 🤔

And thank you 🥰


Tara (Semi Hiatus—focusing on my husband's health and recovery ❤️‍🩹) Saving this for October! Great review Melissa! Excited to read this one!!
