Family secrets at hedgehog hollow5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Jessica Redland continues to entice, impress, awe, and wow me with her wordcraft, as her emotive phrasing taps each end of the emotional spectrum with an understated elegance that avoids even approaching an exaggerated or over-the-top level of drama. This tale involved diverse as well as realistically tragic storylines of abuse and neglect, which were deftly and skillfully handled with thoughtful sensitivity. I have delighted in the refreshingly angst-free romance between the “badass hedgehog saviour” and the super vet as well as the lessons I’ve obtained while they tend to their adorable “hogspital” patients and fractured families. But just as her wish comes true, she becomes a victim of her own kindness when she finds herself with a house full of guests - all with their own problems and secrets - looking to her for support. She has consistently managed to achieve a perfect emotional tone and balance between amusing humor, evocative insights, intriguing revelations, family drama, personal conflict, interesting factoids, and instructive and perceptive observations. It was always Samanthas dream to run her beautiful rescue centre, Hedgehog Hollow, full-time. I’ve binge-read three books in a row of this beguiling series and would gladly keep going until the great dirt nap as this author has definitely hit her stride with these engaging and poignantly written tales. ![]() The fragrance stays in the hand that gives the rose. ![]()
