Featured Reviews

"Uncanny: Beneath the Deep by Sarah Demens is more than just a supernatural fantasy and science fiction novel—it’s a powerful continuation of the Sleuth Assembly’s story and their investigation into the strange happenings in Hollowgrove. At its heart, this book is about family, healing, and the bonds that hold us together.

It centers on a young child who has experienced trauma, and the adults in her life who are doing their best to protect her. It also explores the rekindling of friendships—former schoolmates once separated by tragedy, now drawn back together and learning to depend on each other again. And let’s not forget the steadfast German shepherd, ever loyal and protective.

I’m not someone who usually chooses science fiction, but the emotional depth and strong relationships in this story have pulled me in. I can’t wait to see what happens next to the Sleuth Assembly, the child, and the dog."

If you’re a fan of mystic creatures, classic cryptids, or even a good old mystery story, Uncanny by Sarah Demens is the book for you! The characters draw you in, and the action keeps you on the edge of your seat for every page. Sarah’s writing style is perfect for this fast-paced, goosebumps-inducing rollercoaster. She herself is a true fan of the unknown or rarely seen creatures that go bump in the night, and I can’t wait for more from her creative mind! I would highly recommend this book for anyone who grew up with Scooby Doo, the X Files, Stranger Things, or their dad telling them Bigfoot stories!

To say I LOVED Uncanny: Welcome to Hollowgrove would be understatement of the year. For being Sarah Demens’ debut novel, it reads like something from a long-time published author who is fully confident in their talent, which is amazing and to be applauded.

The story is thrilling, a little terrifying, endearing, and fun all at once. With lovable characters and kind of a “found family” sort of trope, it makes you feel like you’re experiencing something with friends. My personal favorite characters are Magnus, canine protector of Ivy, and Scrooge, another lovable pup who is part of the “Sleuth Assembly.”

Demens’ writing is unique and exciting, written in a fashion that keeps you engaged and has its fair share of humor and quips to make even the most tense of scenes bearable. Besides humor, there is plenty of action, adventure, and mystery within this novel. While fantastic purely as its own story, it leaves you on a cliffhanger and sets the tone for a really wonderful next novel and series.

The mysteries surrounding Ivy, the town of Hollowgrove, and the creatures that reside within it will have you itching for more. I can’t wait to see what’s next in store for the town of Hollowgrove!

The tales of monsters and cryptids sent me straight to my days of childhood!!! Relatable character dynamics were cherry on top.

Cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series.
