Holly Horror: The Longest Night #2

In this terrifying second installment of the Holly Horror series, Evie Archer and her friends face a new evil ready to devour their town whole.

It’s been two weeks since Evie Archer escaped the mines with her brother and solved the mystery of Holly Hobbie’s disappearance, only to discover that Desmond King followed her but never returned. Ravenglass mourns him, but Evie is certain he’s alive, lost in the Shadow Land where Holly and the Patchwork Girl reside.

As winter creeps closer and the days grow shorter, a sinister being begins to haunt the residents of Ravenglass, spiriting them away and bringing them back different than before. Evie knows that the only way to stop it is to find Holly again, but her connection to the lost girl has been severed. With the help of her friend Tina, and Dr. Rockwell’s troubled son Sai, Evie must dive back into the ghosts of the past in order to save Ravenglass from falling into darkness.
