Silver Hollow: A Borderlands Novel By Jennifer Silverwood-Adult Fantasy Book Review


 Book Summary

"I shouldn't have to tell you this isn't a fairy story..."

After her parents' car crash ten years before, Amie Wentworth trusts books more than people. She may be a writer, but she believes in reality over fiction. She ignores the unexplained mysteries surrounding her, never mind the dreams of a past life, or the fact she can fry technology with a touch. Not even a timely invitation from her long-lost uncle in England gives Amie incentive for anything other than ire.

Until she is stabbed in an alley and brought back to life by a handsome stranger. Soon Amie is dragged into the very sort of tale she is used to selling. To make matters worse, the man who saved her life keeps turning up and her would-be murderer is still at large.

After crossing the Atlantic to her father’s homeland, she discovers a world beyond imagining. Silver Hollow is a place of ancient traditions and supernatural dangers, where everything is the opposite of what it seems and few escape sane. Faced with an impossible choice, Amie is forced to confront a deadly family legacy while remembering a life she soon wishes to forget.

**Previously published in 2012. This NEW EDITION has been FULLY REVISED AND EXPANDED. The original novel is now no longer available.**

My Review

The cover was the first thing that attracted me to the novel Silver Hollow, but I was happily surprised by what I found within its pages. If you like a world where magic reigns, this book is for you.

Amie is a reluctant hero who doesn't want to acknowledge what she is when the truth comes out. Most of her "normal" life has really been full of untruths. When she finds out that she is magical and comes from a regal magical legacy the truth is hard to accept. Little does she know what is ahead for her in the future, including a past love from another "life".

It took a while to get all of the pieces straight in this novel. A lot is going on and there are many people and factions of creatures/characters. The last 1/4 of the book was the most exciting and when I saw all the fragments coming together as a whole plot. The ending made me excited to read book two in the series.

If you love a good fantasy with conflicted family relationships, magical creatures, an intense love story, and an unexpected ending, then Silver Hollow should be your next read.
