HUNGRY HILL

Includes spoilers

Hungry Hill by K.J. Sargeant is a disturbing novella that takes the reader into a world of terror, that is frightening and possible.

A small warning to readers, the content in this book is 18+ and does include graphic scenes so it's not for the faint of heart.

The story reads from multiple different character perspectives so understand that you will be jumping around. Although some readers don't like this style, Sargeant does it with ease.

Hungry Hill is a fast-paced, thrilling read that throws you right into the gore. The descriptions are disgusting, especially to those squeamish to bodily harm and death. K.J. Sargeant does a tremendous job creating visuals as you read that give the book that horrifying factor.

The setting of the story brings “Hills have eyes” and “Wrong Turn” vibes.

Sargeant's main characters are simple, but done well. As a reader, you find yourself rooting for the “good guys” You also find yourself scared for your own life imagining yourself in the situation.

Sargeant's shining star is the character Violet. Violet is violent, impulsive, scary and truly terrifying. She's also mentally messed up. I don't want to spoil too much so let's leave it at that.

I do like that Sargeant gives humanity to his monster towards the end.

Literally the only thing I didn't understand about the story was how the antagonist kept up their reign of terror without raising any suspicion.

K.J. Sargeant writes in a way that has you gobbling up the story chapter by chapter. Hungry Hill is bone-chilling.
