Charlotte Crowe and best friend Rebecca Greenleigh were born and raised on the mountain, their ancestors having carved out an existence and built the town of Wicker within its stony embrace.
There had been a dreadful price to be paid all those generations ago. A price whose gruesome details had been all but forgotten. A price which hadn’t been kept up and was now overdue. An evil has now begun to walk the mountain. A relentlessly savage darkness which calls the mountain its own. An evil which has no interest in sharing what it claims to have created.
Charlotte and Rebecca are in for the battle of their lives if they are to have any hope of saving their loved ones, themselves or their beloved mountain home. How can they have any hope of defeating the seemingly invulnerable.
The characters are so well written they might well be living and breathing. Their families, friends and the town folk all come into play. More and more of them is revealed every time they pass through the pages, fighting to survive and escape the grasp of the Wicker Witch.
There is not one wasted word in this enthralling tale, each and every one feeding into a well-plotted culmination of adrenaline and terror.
Be prepared! This novel will bring a torrent of emotions while the tale hurtles along at harrowing speed, weaving through sunlit glades and the darkest of forest shadows towards an unanticipated end.
Rarely do I give 5 stars, but this is definitely one of the deserving. I could NOT put it down!
