Another good installment at Hedgehog Hollow. I really liked getting to learn more about Phoebe and her voice. I'd recommend reading in order.

This is the latest in the Hedgehog Hollow series. It took me a while to revisit the characters as it is some time since I read the previous book, but very quickly got into the book and found it to be a very enjoyable read. I think I would not have enjoyed it as much has I not read the previous books in the series.

What can I say other than another fabulous book by the wonderful Jessica Redland.
Another visit to Hedgehog hollow and it’s poorly hedgehogs. Sams set a date for her wedding but as usual with her, she puts everything and everyone before herself. Within this story we get to find out about Phoebe, one of the volunteers from the college where Sam worked. Her secrets, family and why she strives to succeed. This book will have you reaching for the tissues, needing a hug, wanting to say your piece to a few ignorant people but will also fill you with warmth, love, understanding and most of all happiness. My only problem now is waiting for her next book. I would love to say hurry up please but I know perfection cannot be hurried.

Was a joyous way to spend a Sunday afternoon, completely absorbed by the latest Hedgehog Hollow book. I head been eager to read this from the second I put down book three, and one of the few disadvantages of reading an advance copy a day or so after it is made available is it means that I will now have an even, even longer wait for book 5... which I am now impatient for.

Well I just love this series so much, and once again Jessica Redland has managed to mix some tough serious storylines, with some lovely light hearted moments. You go from feeling utterly angry at some points to laughing and smiling a few pages later, and it just works.

This is not just the latest in what happens to Sam at the Hollow and all the latest hogs being rescued, although we do learn a lot about the Autumn juveniles. We are also treated to Phoebe's story.

Phoebe is the young work experience accountant that does the Hollow's accounts, but turns out she is hiding things. We get chapters from her point of view alternating with Sam's (always with a character heading at the start of the chapter so easy to follow), and for all of her 18 years, what a horrible time she has been having.

And I use the word horrible as a slight understatement, it's truly awful, and the more we learn about her family the more angry I was becoming at how she has been treated.

Once again Sam shows huge amounts of compassion for someone and is able to see past the obvious negatives and has great bounds for forgiveness and understanding.

It was lovely to see how Sam's life has been going since the previous book, and for her story to move on too, and I just loved it all.

I've been completely hooked for the past 3 and a bit hours on every last word of this book, completely enjoying every moment and not wanting it to ever end. I absolutely adore this series so much, and it keeps going from strength to strength.

Jessica Redland is a phenomenal author and my only complaint is that she doesn't write fast enough for super fans like me, as I always want more the second I've finished, and then have to wait for books to be written!

Filled with hedgehogs, children, a tough storyline that may be triggering for some, an overall heartwarming and welcoming feeling - my word it was wonderful to be back at Hedgehog Hollow.

Thank you to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
