In Hallows Hill, Mia and her posse engaged in a summoning ritual at Hallows Hill fifteen years earlier, on Halloween night, and that went on to claim one of their own lives. Now they got back in the same group for this year’s Halloween festivity only to witness another tragedy, which very soon erodes to its point their trust in and received reality. For Mia, the inquiry begins with defining whether the danger has otherworldly implications or is rooted in a more human malice, paving the way to question her friends, the lore of the community, and herself.
Mia's struggle is largely internal, dealing with hurt and parsing herself to tell fact from fabrication. She sort of goes from being haunted by what she witnessed but yet took no stand of judgment on any of her crew members. At first, she grapples with loyalty issues that still gnaw at her, mostly concerning the rest of her friends. Their relationships become a powerful lens through which we can view themes of trust, guilt, and human relationships. But the power of relationships suggests that the danger could present human failings; jealousy, betrayal, and secrets, just as much as it could be a spirit otherwise.
Discernibly, the book deals with arguments surrounding superstitions and rationalism, memory and trauma, and how folklore can sometimes dictate or even unite a community. The regular overlay from today's society, including issues of dealing with people's past traumas, shockwaves of collective belief structures (including misinformation); and the distinction between true evil residing in the supernatural versus the realm of all-human actions, sends shivers down one's spine. Each eerie scenario is loaded with suspense, while without any need for exaggeration, it stands as a depiction of working one's darkest fears for society.
Isaac-Henry agrees during a tense relationship with the intimate but eerie tone of her work, which combines delicate language with an atmosphere-heavy description. The style of the narrative architecture means that, layer by layer, the plot acknowledges the unmasking of the mysteries across a play of revelations, subtle without the typical horror. The pacing slowly builds fear in suspense, where it suffices to leave the reader expecting with atmosphere, otherwise quite often claustrophobic and unsettling, carrying the reader into a shared fate far away from the characters who hardly find breathing space in their interactions.
The book painfully portrays the erosion of trust and an unresolved trauma. In this way, the haze of calling into question the primary reason for death is peculiar; the book allows readers an insight into how fear distorts vision and fractures communities' insight.
Culturally, Hallows Hill boasts of marking a nice stereotypical place-name within the genres of horror and suspense, and registered a solid psychological strain over bleeding blood or cheap shocks at a time, a focal point she shares with certain novels of our time, longer ventures into the darkness equally disguised by how life is depicted through the ordinary. As a matter of fact, the book doesn't redefine the genre, but is based on a challenging platform, being one such intriguing mystery with solid characterization.
Creating a thick and tense atmosphere deliberately set out to create dread at the very edge of every possible turn. For the most part, it serves as nothing short of a character, with its secrets, gossip, and surrounding culture helping at some points to reveal the engaging, still living past.
Hallows Hill forces readers to take a look at how one's past unfurls before the present, how fear cloaks the different faces of evil, and how blindness makes clarity ever so hard when there exists a chain between memory and myths.
3.5/5

5/5 He leído más obras de la autora y ya tenía el listón alto esperando que me gustase y así ha sido.
Una trama ágil y bien construida que te mantiene en vilo de principio a fin. Altamente recomendable si te gusta el folk horror con toques sobrenaturales.

I read Hallows Hill within a couple of weeks of reading the author’s earlier book Sorrow Spring. I thought Sorrow Spring was great, menacing, atmospheric, eerie. Hallows Hill just ramped all that right up! It was fantastic.
This book sees a group of friends returning to their hometown twenty years after a horrific event. An event that caused death, a cult following, media speculation, and has haunted them all this time. However this reunion will spark something horrifying, forcing them to face up to the events of their past.
This blends supernatural horror with the horrors that spring from human nature. What this book does really well is to blur the lines between the two. Throughout the book there’s always a question over what’s happening in the corporeal world, driven by human motivations, and what might have an explanation that’s otherworldly.
This was compelling, tense and totally gripping. The main character is being buffeted from so many angles, her marriage has ended, her mental health is suffering, her friends are behaving strangely, and she’s having to recall things she wanted to put behind her. Her stress throughout this book is palpable. There’s also an erosion of relationships and trust that intensified as we got through the book.
Terror, atmosphere are done brilliantly in a book that still manages to provide a deep character focus. A great read.
I read an eARC of this book on NetGalley so thank you to the author and the publisher.

I’ve read a few folk horror novels recently, but Hallows Hill genuinely gave me chills. Olivia Isaac-Henry blends supernatural suspense with psychological tension in a way that’s very eerie. It’s not just about what’s lurking in the shadows, but what’s buried in memory.
🎃 Plot Summary
Fifteen years ago, on Halloween night, Mia and her teenage friends performed a summoning ritual on Hallows Hill. The next day, one of them was dead. Now, the surviving group reunites at the same place, and history seems to repeat itself. As the deaths mount up can Mia unravel the mystery.
Mia, haunted by a vision she saw that night, begins to question everything, her friends, herself, and the folklore surrounding Hallows Hill. Is there a malevolent force at play, or is the danger all too human? As the story unfolds, Mia must confront guilt, loyalty, and the terrifying possibility that the evil they summoned never left.
🌫️ What Stood Out
- Atmosphere: The setting is rich with dread, foggy woods, old rituals, and creeping unease.
- Folklore: The blend of local legend and psychological horror is compelling and well-paced.
- Themes: Trust, trauma, and the blurred line between memory and myth are explored with nuance.
🪨 Final Thoughts
Hallows Hill is a chilling, atmospheric folk horror tale that lingers long after the final page. It’s perfect for autumn nights and fans of stories where the past refuses to stay buried.

Hallows Hill by Olivia Isaac-Henry is a chilling folk-horror novel that expertly blends supernatural suspense with psychological tension. Fifteen years after a Halloween ritual at Hallows Hill ended in tragedy, Mia reunites with her old friends, only to find history threatening to repeat itself. Another death shakes the group, and Mia must navigate a web of fear, suspicion, and lingering trauma. Is something truly supernatural at work, or is one of them a killer?
Isaac-Henry creates an unsettling atmosphere from the very first page, with the fog of past events and local folklore seeping into every scene. The tension is relentless as the friends confront not only the horrors of the past but also the fractures in their own relationships. While some readers may find Mia and her friends challenging to warm to, the book excels at showing the corrosive effects of guilt, fear, and secrecy, making the suspense feel grounded and unnerving.
The pacing builds gradually, blending eerie supernatural undertones with human-driven suspense. Every twist is carefully planted, and the story keeps you questioning the true nature of the threat until the very end. For fans of folklore-infused horror, atmospheric mystery, and psychological suspense, Hallows Hill delivers a tense, memorable read that lingers long after the last page.

This novel works more as a mystery/thriller although it does have some really creepy supernatural elements. And that's fine because the narrative sucks you in and keeps you turning the pages as secrets and confessions hearken.
A group of close knit teenage friends go to a Hags Circle to perform a ritual one Halloween night. It's a rite of passage where they live after all. But this ritual will lead to one of them being murdered inside of this circle.
Now as adults, the remaining friends gather again, all having affects from that night. But they've brought something with them from that ritual and they begin dying one by one. Is it a curse thats coming to fruition or do other people want them dead so certain secrets stay that way?
This book relies on the supernatural as situations seem to indicate something other than natural circumstances is going on. There's a lot of red herrings, incomplete information, and various people who could want them all dead. That's the great thing about it. It keeps you guessing and determining whether it's something not of this world or nefarious people.
It'll keep your attention with its tightly written story, creepy vibes, and multiple angles. I highly recommend it.

Hallows Hill is a haunting folk horror tale that grips you by the spine and refuses to let go. Blending eerie folklore with psychological suspense, this story echoes with the voices of the past—both supernatural and all-too-human.
Mia returns to the site of a long-buried tragedy: a Halloween ritual from fifteen years ago that ended in death. But the hill has not forgotten. As the surviving friends reunite and another death shakes the group, Mia’s descent into fear and self-doubt is relentless and deeply unsettling. Are they cursed by an ancient evil—or is the killer one of their own?
Hallows Hill masterfully balances atmospheric dread with sharp character insight. Every page oozes tension, with twists that don’t just surprise—they pierce. The folklore adds depth without overshadowing the raw emotional stakes, making this feel both timeless and urgently modern. This book is a must-read for lovers of smart, skin-crawling horror with psychological depth.

I finished this one but I can't say I enjoyed it much. I didn't like any of the characters and wouldn't have cared had they all died, as the 'prophesy' claimed they would. Five teenagers take part in an occult ritual at some standing stones to raise an entity. Twenty years later they have a reunion and invite a medium to give them a reading. She predicts they will all be dead by Christmas. One by one, the prophesy comes true, but who or what is killing them? So this is a blend of the supernatural and down-to-earth crime, and the blend was very uneasy for me. It just didn't work. By the last few chapters I was thoroughly confused as there were so many threads and names and suspects and so much exposition that I was drowning in it all. I'm still not entirely sure of the killer's motivation.
Definitely worth a read if you like novels about drunk women and their friends who 'work' in London, but don't actually do a stroke of work the entire book yet still afford to live in flats in London...
This isn't bad, by any means, it just didn't grab me.

First, thank you Netgalley & HarperCollins for this ARC!
I am still not often in the mood for horror novels, but this one obviously caught my attention. The story revolving around Halloween was only the cherry on the cake, so to say.
Thankfully, I did nopt end up being disappointed. This was an eerie story. We have Mia, trying to move forward from a trauma she has to deal with since fifteen years ago, a Halloween ritual she was part of together with her friends ended in one of them being dead. The question is now - was it really the supernatural force they did summond that killed their friend? Or was it an ordinary, human killer using Halloween to hide behind? Well, if you want to find out, you need to read the book. I promise you are not going to regret it!

July 12, 2025I read and enjoyed Olivia Isaac-Henry's previous folk horror outing Sorrow Spring so was interested to read Hallows Hill. Once again she has proved herself in the folk horror genre. A group of teens go to Hallows Hill for a dare..... to raise a 'spirit' however one does not return from the ritual. Now adults they return to find themselves still haunted from the past and sense that a supernatural spirit maybe at play threatening their lives.
Full of atmosphere and psychological darkness which carries you along, the characters and the dynamics of the plot really work and make this a great folk horror read. I look forward to her next offering.

Fifteen years after a Halloween ritual ended in death, Mia reunites with her old friends only to find history repeating itself. Is something supernatural at work, or is one of them a killer?
With a strong start I really thought I would love this book but sadly I didn’t. This was largely due to my dislike of the characters, especially Mia, so the slower pace of the investigation didn’t really work for me. This was not by any means a bad story, just not to my tastes unfortunately.

September 22, 2025It's Halloween and a group of teenagers attempt to raise a spirit at the Hags Ring stone circle on Hallows Hill, leading to the death of one of the group.
Fifteen years on, Mia is still haunted by what she saw that night. When the friends gather for Halloween again and someone else dies, Mia must look closely at each friend. Is one a killer or has a supernatural force attached itself to the group, or perhaps only to Mia?
Ideal for fans of folklore-infused suspense.

I went into this one thinking it was another folk horror novel and while it does have a few elements of one, it is actually a thriller with some chilling supernatural elements. Once I got past my initial disappointment, I did find it to be an enjoyable read. I loved the premise and the author does a good vjob of creating an atmosphere filled with menace and fear. One of the twists was very predictable and I saw it coming very early on, but the big real at the end was surprising and well done. I will continue to seek out Isaac-Henry’s books. A fun read and perfect for this time of year.

It's rare, these days, that a book grabs me so hard that I'm sneaking off to read when I should be doing other things; I'm generally a responsible adult. I put all that aside for Hallows Hill.
This book pulled me in so fast. It was wonderfully atmospheric, the characters believable, each twist made sense.
I loved Sorrow Spring; I loved this even more!

This was fantastic! The perfect mix of supernatural suspense and psychological thriller. I was completely hooked throughout, the different media really added to the intensity.
Whilst I didn’t particularly like the friends, this group certainly shows how events can draw people to give, but not necessarily in a good way, these are a perfect example of how toxic friendships can be.
The book builds slowly, involving eerie supernatural events alongside human nature. I was questioning everything from the actions of people outside the group, to the true nature of their ‘friendships’ . I was fascinated in how the events all linked together and unfolded.
I thought I had already read Sorrow Spring, so will be binging this asap.

A dark and unsettling tale. Mia and her friends engaged in a ritual, summoning a ghost, which claimed the life of one of them. The event and the online speculation has haunted them since.
Returning to the scene twenty years later sparks a horrifying chain of events which puts them all in danger.
A haunting story, blending supernatural events with questions about how well we truly know one another.
