“Greene does a good job of building suspense as the story unfolds. Strange things happen one by one in increasingly spooky fashion. Background information is revealed a little bit at a time and makes you want to try and solve the mystery. …I recommend this to those who like to read about hauntings, nature, history, DIY home maintenance, violent husbands, scary things in the woods, and water.”—Bookvark

“The characters are well developed, and Greene hit just the right amount of tension between them. …I rarely like every character in a book, but I loved the whole group. The creepiness never let up, the tension built steadily, and…things escalated rapidly. The ending was very satisfying! Horror is definitely Greene’s forte.”—Bookish Sort

“This is a wonderfully scary paranormal novel. The setting is perfect and well described. The characters are well-drawn and likable. The romance between Jo and Andy is especially charming and fits perfectly into the tale. This is just a wonderful story, and I’m so glad I read it, even in the middle of the night. If you love a good scary story, I believe you will love it too.”—Rainbow Reflections

“Greene likes to take her time to work up the suspense, starting with smaller and seemingly inconsequential things that build up a suitably creepy atmosphere. Placing the characters in an isolated setting ratchets things up. This isn’t a gore-fest nor is it relying on jump-scares to set the atmosphere—instead it’s a well paced ghost story with strongly developed characters…”—C-Spot Reviews

“Greene does a great job of establishing a creepy atmosphere by setting a rather slow (but not overly so) pace, taking the necessary time to describe the woods, the uncared-for cabin, the ominous well from the cover, the sounds, the smells, the weather and temperatures…”—Jude in the Stars

“Very fun horror story that just touches on the creep factor without going full blown scary. There’s a lot of really good elements to the book, from the menacing spook, to the mystery, and even the relationship. …Great work!”—Colleen Corgel, Librarian, Queens Public Library

“Greene has done an outstanding job of weaving in all sorts of layers; mysterious patterns in the gardens, missing rooms, odd disappearances, blandly boring journals, unknown artwork, and each mystery is eventually revealed as part of the horrific whole. Combined with intensely emotional descriptions of the fear the characters experience as they are targeted by the tortured spirit and this book is genuinely a page turner…not only could I not sleep after reading it, I didn’t want to put it down.”—Lesbian Reading Room

“Gnarled Hollow by Charlotte Greene is an awesome supernatural thriller that will terrify and entertain you for hours on end.”—The Lesbian Review

“Gnarled Hollow is a creepy mystery story that had me gripped from the start. There was layer upon layer of mystery and plenty that I didn’t see coming at all.”—Kitty Kat’s Book Review Blog

“Scared myself to death, but hauntingly beautiful! had my heart beating at rapid speeds, and my mind working overtime with this thought provoking story. Piecing together the mystery of Gnarled Hollow was both fascinating, and scary as hell. It takes talent to put that much suspense and thrill into words that build the picture so vividly, painting descriptions that you can imagine perfectly and see as you read.”—LESBIreviewed

“I really enjoyed this. This is the fifth book I have read by Greene and by far my favorite. It had some good twists and kept me in suspense until the end. In fact, I was a little sad when it ended. This would be a perfect book to read around Halloween time. …I would absolutely recommend this to paranormal-crime/mystery fans. I really hope Greene takes the opportunity to write more books in similar genres. I would love to read them if she does. 5 stars.”—Lez Review Books

“The relationship really works between the main characters, and the sex is steamy but not over the top.”—Amanda’s Reviews

“Have you ever wondered how Pride and Prejudice would work if it were two women falling in love with a brewery as a backdrop? Well, wonder no more! …All in all, I would say this is up near the top on my list of favorite Pride and Prejudice adaptations.”—Amanda Brill, Librarian, Rowan Public Library (North Carolina)

“Greene’s charming retelling of Pride and Prejudice transplants the Bennets into the world of Colorado craft beer. …The story beats are comfortingly familiar, with the unusual backdrop of brewing and beer competitions, modern setting, and twists on the characters providing enough divergence to keep the reader engaged. …Feminism, lesbianism, and class are all touched on in this refreshing update on a classic. (Starred review)”—Publishers Weekly
