Selah has always been fascinated by the unexplained. There seem to be a lot of strange occurrences involving her town, Foggy Hollow. When a new Vandenberg descendent moves to town to live in the house the previous Vandenberg family disappeared from, Selah is more than curious.

Wicked is the Hollow is a great book for the spooky season. It’s a big mystery, with a treasure hunt vibe. In a way, it reminded me of National Treasure. There is a lot of history that our main characters dive into as they try to make sense of the past. The format of the book kept things exciting with journal entries, news articles, and a podcast episode. I really enjoyed the variety in formats.

There are a lot of pieces to this puzzle. At times, it felt a little bit overwhelming. The Vandenberg family tree was pretty big and there were a lot of characters in the past we learned about. But I would say that everything came together well in the end and I really enjoyed the plot twists along the way. I couldn’t have guessed the specific details of the plot. I was continually surprised. I enjoyed my time reading Wicked is the Hollow and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
