Linden and her sisters each possess an unusual ability. Linden tastes others’ feelings. A year ago, Linden disappeared in the Forest and had no clear memory when she returned, only hazy nightmares. Another girl has disappeared in a similar fashion, though she is found dead. Linden is determined to find out what really happened.
BITTERSWEET IN THE HOLLOW was an atmospheric YA fantasy mystery filled with lots of twists. I really liked the premise and enjoyed how Linden and her family’s story unfolded. I loved the magical realism and didn’t feel like I had to stretch to suspend disbelief. It just all worked really well. It was easy to become invested in the plot and characters. For being such a dark story, the writing was beautiful with fantastic world-building. This was a great October "spooky season" read.
BITTERSWEET IN THE HOLLOW kept me turning pages. I’d definitely recommend to fans of YA fantasy mystery. This is the first book of Kate Pearsall’s Bittersweet in the Hollow series. I look forward to reading future books.
