3.0 out of 5 starsAn OMG-fest for Teens
By HeavyMetalManitou VINE VOICE on 12 Mar. 2012
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
I'm not a 15-year-old girl. While reading Hollow Pike, however, I tried to get into the mindset of a female adolescent, as that was the only way I could give the book a fair review. This was more than a little scary, as I had witnessed Sonny Crockett going deep undercover in the original TV series of Miami Vice, then being unable to return to his true self. What if the same thing happened to me? How would a teen girl's personality trapped in the body of a big, hairy Scotsman manifest itself? Well, if Hollow Pike is accurate, I'd accompany every verb with an adverb, I'd describe possible things as impossible (impossible eyes, impossibly long legs, and so on), I'd consider people my best friends two days after meeting them, and I'd be forever doomed to exclaim, "OMG!" when encountering anything at all. I took the risk, though. Embracing my inner teenage girl, I dived headlong into the OMG-fest.

Aimed primarily at teenage girls, Hollow Pike is a coming-of-age story. The main character, fifteen-year-old Lis London, moves from Wales to northern England in order to escape a campaign of bullying at school. The proverbial fish out of water in her new surroundings, Lis becomes plagued by recurring nightmares in which her face is held beneath the surface of a forest stream. OMG! Nightmares! She meets three new friends - Kitty, Delilah and Jack - who are part of the so-uncool-they-must-be-cool crowd. OMG! BFF! Lis discovers that Delilah and Kitty are lesbian lovers. OMG! Teenage lesbos! The ultimate outsiders! And if you're thinking things couldn't get any more nonconformist, you'd be wrong...Jack's sexuality is ambiguous. OMG! A homosexual, bisexual or possibly asexual boy! What is this Hollow Pike place? A modern-day Sodom in rural England?Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsA spooky Whodunnit!
By Pyewacket TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 30 Jan. 2012
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
Lis London is on the way to Yorkshire to a new life and a new school. She had been seriously bullied at her previous school so her Mother had decided that a complete change in both aspects of her life would be beneficial to her. So, Lis comes to live with her older half sister Sarah, her Husband and their little boy in Hollow Pike.

As most people will recall, the first day being the new kid at a new school is a daunting prospect and particularly so for Lis because of the previous bullying and also because she has been having recurring nightmares which incidentally do not stop when she reaches her sister's home.

When she walks into the school of course everyone goes quiet and has a good long look at her but then a girl named Laura introduces herself and it seems that maybe Lis will make some new friends after all. Laura's little clique though are bullies in their own right and are particularly nasty to two girls and a boy who they call 'freaks, or gays'. These pupils will eventually play a pivotal role in the book and go on to become the best friends that Lis has ever had. So far so good then until Laura thinks that a boy she fancies has been taking more notice of Lis than of her............this is when the trouble and the bullying start all over again. Liz becomes a target for cruel rumours and emails and also death threats from Laura and her cronies. The nightmare appears to be starting all over again for poor Lis until 'the freaks', Delilah, Kitty and Jack make friends with her.

They hatch a plan to frighten the living daylights out of Laura and indeed it works but someone else has also been in the woods of Hollow Pike that evening and Laura meets a particularly grisly end.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat debut novel
By Jan on 5 Nov. 2012
Format: Paperback
This is a really exciting debut novel - a spooky story, with a murder mystery and teenage romance thrown in, so there is something for everyone!

At the beginning of this story Lis arrives in Hollow Pike in Yorkshire to live with her older sister. She needs a new start. She has been bullied at her school in Wales and she feels that a change of scenery, a new school and some new friends will improve her life considerably. Hollow Pike has ancient connections with witchcraft and everyone has a tale to tell about the witches that were murdered in the woods long ago. Lis has a series of nightmares where she dreams she is in the wood, being chased by someone who wants to kill her - so much for escaping her demons by moving to Yorkshire! Then a girl from her class is found murdered in the wood and Lis fears she will be next. Talking to Danny helps so much, but maybe Danny knows more about these macabre events than he is telling her.

I had no idea how this book was going to end - it took me by surprise - and that is a very good thing! James Dawson has created an interesting group of teenage characters. As in most schools the pupils in year 11 at Fulton High School come from a mixture of home situations, from Kitty's mansion to Delilah's home on an edgy estate, there is an `in-crowd' and a group of outsiders, there are the bullies and the bullied and there are the geeks. This is a story that will grab readers who like a mystery that is anchored in a situation they will recognise.

5.0 out of 5 starsWicked Witchcraft
By ReadWriteReviews on 26 July 2012
Format: Paperback
I've always been interested in witchcraft, the mystery and suspense surrounding it all. But more so the history of it all. Hollow Pike contains witchcraft and it's horrifying history, so naturally I was drawn to this book. Even more so when I realised the author was British. I received this book from Indigo recently but I've only just got around to reading it and damn I wish I'd read it sooner. It's so good. In Hollow Pike the teenage characters are so real, they are probably the most life like book characters I've read recently. James Dawson seems to have a talent when it comes down to writing as a teenage mind. Hollow Pike has humour and some seriously dark themes woven together to make a perfect novel that makes the reader laugh and freeze with suspense. It's the perfect mix of humour and seriousness making the novel very enjoyable and leaves the reader gripping on to the pages wanting to know more.

Hollow Pike follows Lis London as she moves to Hollow Pike to live with her sister. But Hollow Pike's no average town, it has a dark past with witchcraft thoroughly woven into it's history. Everyone knows of the myths but it's not real right? Lis starts having nightmares, the same one repeats itself over and over. In it someone is trying to kill her, Lis thinks it's nothing to worry about but she knows somethings not quite right with this new town. The town's gruesome past has a life of it's own and it will not be silenced.

I loved the character of Lis. She knew pain and was vulnerable inside. After having to face bullying at her old school, she knows how bad things can get. She swears that at this new school she won't let it happen again.Read more ›
