Once I started this I couldn’t put it down. The mystery had me hooked. Holly Horror follows the story of Evie Archer. After her parents messy divorce she has to move back into an old family home that the locals call Horror House. The house holds many old dark secrets. As Evie starts to uncover the truth of what happened in the past to Holly Hobbie she starts loosing site of what’s real and what isn’t.
This story was really interesting and I loved how it was a slow burn kind of spooky. In the beginning there were just weird things but as the story progressed things got very creepy. I also enjoyed the characters. Evie wasn’t just solving the mystery of Holly Hobbie’s disappearance she was finding herself and dealing with how to reconcile her parents divorce and how to navigate a new high school and teenage relationships. The romance was cute and although sometimes a bit cheesy it definitely added some brightness to a spooky story.
The overall pacing and plot were done well but wow the ending honestly shocked me. I probably should have known that there would be a cliffhanger but I now cannot wait to read book 2. I think this is going to be an awesome fall read. It’ll be great for fans of creepy haunted houses, small town mysteries, missing girl stories, and some teen romance.
