In Arnn, New York, there is a very
bad place called Witchwood Hollow. In 1760, Lady Elizabeth Clifford fled there to
escape her pursuers when she was accused of witchcraft. In 1850, naive teenager
Albertine took a short-cut through the woods to get to her father’s house—only
to never find her way out. Fast-forward to 2001: high schooler Honoria has come
to Arnn after the tragic death of her parents. When she hears about the legend
of the woods and the dreadful witch who lives there, she becomes intrigued, and
decides to find out more—yet little does
she know that her quest could very well become her undoing…
Escape
from Witchwood Hollow is a quick read, barely 200 pages in length. Now, as a
fan of horror films, I was delighted with the premise, and the foreboding atmosphere
that accompanied the story was great. However, I never really got a sense of
who the characters were as people, and I also have somewhat mixed feelings
about the ending. These two things ultimately made my reading experience a
little disappointing, but I would still recommend it to readers ages 14-up.
