Once upon a time I was a huge fan of mysteries. Still with me? I know this isn’t the type of book I usually go for, but when I read the blurb I had to read it.

A murderer is loose in Shady Hollow, and now Vera is hot on the trail. When his body is pulled ashore it becomes clear that he’s been stabbed. Vera Vixen, the foxy ace reporter, finds him floating face down in the millpond. The quiet life of this little village is disturbed one day by the discovery of the body of the town curmudgeon, an old toad of a creature. Of course a family of beavers run the local sawmill, the economic engine of Shady Hollow. A raven runs the bookstore, a moose owns the cafe. The ace reporter at the local newspaper is a fox, who works for a skunk of an editor. The police chief and his deputy are bears. Now imagine that quaint small town is populated by animals, or creatures as Juneau Black calls them in this first book of a series of cozy mysteries. That’s the village of Shady Hollow, tucked away in the north woods far from all the hustle and bustle of big city life. A multistory bookstore (because we all love books right?), and a laid back, mostly absent police force because there isn’t much for the police to do. A friendly cafe where the locals hang out to share the gossip of the day. Quiet streets, most folks walking rather than driving. Imagine the quaintest small country village that you can. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home.Shady Hollow: A Murder Mystery by Juneau Black

They aren't the only ones looking for her though. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time-something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake.

Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Download House of Hollow Book in PDF, Epub and KindleĪ New York Times Bestseller! An Instant Indie Bestseller!
