Vervain Hollow - by Catriona Silvey (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Two years ago, Laura was in a cult. But when the sprawling house in the hollow burned down with Vervain, their strikingly handsome and magnetic leader, trapped inside, Laura had nowhere to go but home. Brokenhearted, she finds herself longing for their lost leader--despite the trauma of that strange and terrifying year, she knows the power he promised her was real. But when her estranged friend, Aliyah, calls to tell her that Daniel, one of the other acolytes, has been lured back to the hollow by a message from Vervain, Laura only hears one thing: He's still there. As Laura and Aliyah venture back to the house of their nightmares to find the truth, Laura soon realizes that not everything she remembers can be trusted--and that the darkness will do anything to get her back.

Review Quotes

"A dark and mind-bending tale with an atmosphere of mounting claustrophobia, Vervain Hollow is a brilliantly-paced gothic cult horror which poses the question: is it better to accept reality, however cold, or sink into the pleasure of beautiful lies, and can we always trust ourselves to tell the difference?"--Marianne Gordon, author of The Raven's Trade duology
