I wasn't sure if I would like this book or not at first. However, having reached the end of this first installment of the series, I can say I really did like it. It is a dark historical fantasy that I think teens and some adults would like. It was frustrating not knowing until near the end of this first book why the series is called 'Hallowmere' but it certainly kept me reading. I definitely recommend it.

Surprisingly good gothic historical fiction. Although targeted at young adults, this one will resonate with adults who enjoy literary fantasy and dark fairy tales. I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and am passing it on with enthusiasm to several friends who are like-minded readers.
The main character was a bit naive throughout the story, but very much acted like a 15-year-old girl. The setting was a bit unexpected, but it worked well. A good start to a series with a very open ending.
This first-in-a-series was muddled and confusing; I can't imagine any YA reader getting through it, much less wanting to read more.

The first in a series, this book had a great, gothic feel that would definitely appeal to fans of Libba Bray's writings.
