Reviews for The Spirit Hollows
Updated: Apr 4, 2021
Here are some excerpts from recent reviews of The Spirit Hollows. I'm grateful for the time these reviewers and others took to read and write about the book!
From Awake at Midnight:
"Normally I avoid these mash-up comparisons, but this story is clearly Jonathan Stroud’s Lockwood & Co. meets Manly Wade Wellman (or, for older horror fans, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters in the world of Old Gods of Appalachia) ... Brewer’s adventure has hints of both romance and loneliness, and when it was over I found myself missing the characters. His storytelling is effective at capturing that backwoods flavor with a touch of steampunk."
From Small Town Book Reviewer:
"A true steampunk adventure, this story seamlessly blends the Old West with new technology ... I felt as if I were right there with Quinn and Zora on their adventure and I loved every minute of it."
From The Book Suite:
"The plot of this book was incredibly captivating; there were plenty of twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. And I absolutely loved the characters! ... I truly felt immersed in the world of The Spirit Hollows."
From Reedsy Discovery:
"The Spirit Hollows is a well-written and exciting fantasy with delightful characters that would appeal to both young adult and adult readers--and luckily it looks like there's a sequel on the way."
Reading your review of The Spirit Hollows brought me back to the first time I stumbled onto a hidden trail during a family hike in the Appalachian woods. We were chasing a faint, moss‑covered sign that promised a “secret meadow,” and after a steep climb we emerged into a clearing shrouded in mist, the kind that made everything feel both intimate and eerie. The way the game’s atmosphere folds together quiet dread and wonder feels exactly like that moment—every rustle of leaves seemed to whisper a story, and the faint glow of fireflies turned the darkness into something inviting https://www.osko.com.au/ I remember my younger brother’s nervous laugh as we whispered about unseen spirits, and how the experience lingered long after…
