Bittersweet in the Hollow is a great YA book about a girl named Linden that has the unusual talent of being able to taste what people are feeling. Sounds weird right? Her whole family has talents and the town pretty much considers them witches. The other main part is the forest where some people either vanish or turn up dead. Linden survives going into the forest but has gaps in her memory and suffers from PTSD from her ordeal. So put this all together and add her close friend showing up dead in the forest and a Moth-Man legend that comes to life. It makes for an interesting story and the author is able to weave all this together very well. The atmosphere is so cool, the forest seems larger than life and creepy as heck. I loved Linden's family and the whole deal with the family book and the powers and history. The Moth-Man part is also really cool and probably the best part of the story. for me. What would you be willing to give up to save someone? That is a question that comes up at times and something to ponder. Anyway, this is a great story and really has it all, a great creepy setting, a mysterious Moth-Man, witches, a solid mystery as to some characters' identities, and more.
