Media Reviews
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. Strongly recommended Thoughts from the Hearthfire 20120202 ...one of the best young adult novels I have read in a long time. I can't wait to see what James Dawson comes up with next. The Book Bundle 20120130 The opening lines saw me hold my breath and I didn't breathe again until the end of the first chapter. I honestly thought I might need medical assistance. What an amazing opening to a book. Serendipity Reviews 20120129 This book blends important teen issues, teen angst, witchcraft and murder mystery, creating a delectable cocktail of a book. Best sipped slowly so you don't miss a single drop. Bookangel's Booktopia 20120104 If you are craving a chilling tale, laced with suspense, Hollow Pike is the book for you. Realm of Fiction 20120123 ... a gripping read that scares and thrills in equal measures Juniper's Jungle 20120124 ... like Blair Witch Project meets The Craft and with a bit of Mean Girls thrown in. I loved the action and the speed of the book, it was a brilliant read. Readeraptor 20120118 Man, does James Dawson know the minds of British teenagers... 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. Book Zone for Boys 20120208 ...clever, sophisticated storytelling and one of the best thrillers I've read in a long time. COSY BOOKS 20120306 A tense and terrifying debut novel with some wonderful characters and a brilliant location. Highly recommended. THE BOOK BAG 20120316 Think Heathers meets The Craft for this exciting debut. ATTITUDE MAGAZINE 20120401
