Willow Lamott has spent the past four years trying to be
invisible, but that is about to change as her best friend has just been
released from Juvie. He was convicted of manslaughter, but there is some
question as to whether he is really guilty or not. Ashton has returned to Gilt
Hollow, bent on revenge or justice – one can only guess! His turbulent return
sparks the beginning of various sinister occurings, and Willow is not sure what
to believe as she rekindles her old friendship and suddenly isn’t so invisible
any more.
Gilt Hollow is a delightful blend of mystery, young (clean)
romance, and suspense. The book is young adult fiction, but as a
thirty-something reader I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! As a fan of Langdon’s collaboration
with Carey Corp, the Doon series, I
couldn’t pass this book up and I’m glad I didn’t. The book is not overtly
Christian, but is written from a Christian perspective, so it doesn’t contain
any content inappropriate for the target age group.
Langdon also has a way of making you fall in love with her
characters. It’s the little details about Willow and Ashton that make them easy
to relate to. As I said, even as a not-so-young adult I can connect to the
challenges they face as the story progresses.
All in all, it’s a great read, and I look forward to more
from this author!
