I am delighted to share my review today for The Hill by Iain Rob Wright, this is the 1st book in The Spread series and it lays down a great introduction to the series.
An ancient land breeds a new threat…
The Scottish Highlands; a sparse, mountainous region some say was carved by the gods themselves. Few places are as untouched as this harsh, prehistoric landscape. It is no place for man.
But nestled deep within the wilderness lies a cottage, and behind that cottage is a hill…
When a group of friends travel up from Manchester and hire the cottage for a weekend of boozy fun, they discover a threat far greater than the harsh landscape and unwelcoming weather.
Something deadly lies upon the hill.
And it’s spreading.
MY REVIEW
I got this book for my Kindle in the summer and have not got around to reading it. I have seen this author’s books on various platforms and decided to give this one a go.
A bachelor party in a remote part of Scotland should be a chance to celebrate friendships and get back together again to share stories, drink a lot and have a laugh. After a long drive, the five friends arrive at the cottage that sits within the shadow of a hill. It is during their first night that they hear a sound like a thump and decide to investigate. Climbing the hill in the dark and while drunk is not the best idea, tempers are frayed and then there is the object.
Sean is the most daring, annoying and gobby one of the bunch, it is he who decides to see what this object is, he doesn’t see what the bother is about or what the item could be. it is not until he gets back to the cottage that he discovers there is some sort of green fungi on his hands. And so it begins…
This is a great start to a series that I believe is currently standing at 6 books. This first one is a quickish read, well it is only 162 pages. I decided to read just a couple of chapters before going to bed, Big, Big Mistake! I rad it in one go as I could not put it down.
This is a book that looks at the relationships that have changed over a few years, but it is the introduction to the series and it is a good starting point.
As I write this review, this book is on Kindle Unlimited and I have just got the 2nd book and will be reading it next.
This is a good one for fans of mystery, science fiction, dystopian and otherworldly genres. I really enjoyed this one and I would recommend it.
Many thanks for reading my post, a like or share would be amazing 🙂 xx
