After Dark with Roxie Clark

Reviews / Votes

A story about transgenerational haunting, of the legacies, responsibilities, and sentiments passed on from old to young along a family line. . . . This book is a wonderful change of pace for thriller lovers--a slower burn, but a rewarding one. * Booklist * The narrative's suspenseful ambiance and Roxie's distinct, loyal-to-a-fault voice make for a riveting meditation on generational trauma and fierce female relationships. * Publishers Weekly * The central mystery is unpredictable, carefully building tension to the end. . . . Gripping. * Kirkus Reviews * The Hollow Inside is a haunting debut, as thrilling as it is lyrical. Steeped in small town secrets and layered mysteries that unfold with perfect pacing, Brooke Lauren Davis delivers a powerful story about the lengths we're willing to go to for family, and the price we pay when the ones we love reveal their true natures. I loved every bit of this twisty, poetic book. * New York Times bestselling author David Arnold on THE HOLLOW INSIDE * A propulsive, gritty thriller from an exciting new voice in YA fiction. I can't wait to see what Brooke Lauren Davis does next. * Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders, on THE HOLLOW INSIDE * The author evocatively captures the feel of small-town life, and Phoenix, whose longing for a family is palpable, inspires sympathy, as does Nina, whose own story is interspersed throughout. . . . A page-turning debut. * Kirkus Reviews on THE HOLLOW INSIDE * Debut author Davis creates a complex, suspenseful story about small-town secrets, vengeance, and compassion. * Publishers Weekly on THE HOLLOW INSIDE * An engaging debut that propels readers through a dark tangle of lies and secrets. * Booklist on THE HOLLOW INSIDE *
