Synopsis

Nestled within an enchanted forest is the Grove, a community where witches and warlocks practice elemental magic, brew mystical potions, and lock their cellars against beer thieving gnomes. Life is quiet and uneventful. Well, except when Hazel's long-lost father uses necromancy to trap her dead mother's soul.That simply won't do. Necromancy is forbidden in the Grove, and for good reason too. Nobody wants filthy corpses shambling around, mussing up one's garden. Hazel is determined to find her father and undo his treachery.But despite Hazel's plans of becoming a one-woman army, she can't do everything alone. It's not until wild sister Holly convinces her to leave the house for once and go to a party that Hazel finds a pair of unlikely allies in two bickering warlock brothers.Together, the four of them go on a journey that takes them out of the Grove and into a world where necromancy reigns and the dead won't respectfully stay in the grave. Hazel will do whatever it takes to stop her father and save her mother's soul. Even if it means turning to necromancy. Even if it means losing her friends. Because they would never help a necromancer. Would they?

2.5 star I love the cover and wanted to love what's inside just as much. But sadly it fell short for me. Hazel and Holly are a sweet sister duo but they have a hard time making decisions.

Goodreads review by Jypsy on February 22, 2019

I had no expectations for Hazel and Holly, so I wasn't greatly disappointed when I didn't like it. These girls and their crazy father and their dead mother's soul? It's disturbing and creepy and just not. I skimmed and read bits of it, but overall I didn't care for this story. Thanks to NetGalley fo......more

Goodreads review by Tanya on January 10, 2023

I think that Hazel and Holly is going to be one of those hit or miss reads for people. Review are all over the map, which honestly kept me from picking this one up earlier. But since I'm continuously drawn to it, and it's a long read, I decided that my Christmas Vacation would be the perfect time to......more

Ebook provided by NetGally in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. "I'm not afraid," Hazel said. "I just prefer not to be touched by the dead." The first chapters were really promising. I loved the worldbuilding. The idea of different......more
