Book Information
Social worker Johnny Malkin is battling a crippling workload and a hostile local community. That’s on a good day: things are about to get a whole lot worse.
Two fourteen-year-old girls are found wandering Aitken Wood on the slopes of Pendle Hill, claiming to have been raped by a gang of men. With no female social workers available, Johnny is assigned to their case. But what, at first, looks like yet another incident of child exploitation takes a sinister turn when the girls start speaking of a forthcoming apocalypse.
When Johnny interviews one of the girls, Jenna Dunham, her story starts to unravel. His investigation draws him into a tight-knit village community in the shadow of Pendle Hill, where whispers of witchcraft and child abuse go back to the Middle Ages.
One name recurs: The Hobbledy Man. Is he responsible for the outbreaks of violence sweeping across the country?
Is he more than just myth?

My Review
5☆ Dark & Eerie... will get under your skin!
Pendle Fire is one of those books that literally gets under your skin.
It's creepy, eerie, chilling, made my hair stand on end all within the first few chapters.
This isn't an easy read it contains racism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, child grooming, child sex trafficking topics that some readers might find difficult.
I don't want to say too much about the plot as there is so much going on.
The stories weave together perfectly.
I loved the way Paul built up so much suspense and atmosphere.
It made me feel on edge I knew something was going to happen but didn't know when.
If this book was an audio book oh my gosh it would be perfect. I can just imagine the stormy weather brewing and the eerie noises and screams on Pendle Hill.
Just thinking about it give me chills!
The pace for Pendle Fire is perfect. It builds up ample of suspense and mystery!
I would say this book will definitely unease you and lull you into a false sense of security.
Nothing is quiet what it seems.
The children mention that the end is coming. We know there is supernatural stories from the past of witches and The Hobbledy Man but could this be what they mean?
Johnny Malkin is a Social Worker. I thought he was a fantastic character. He really cared about his cases. Sometimes a lil too much. But you could really see how passionate he was about his job and always went above and beyond to protect.
Pendle Fire is a Dark, Sadistic, eerie, Crime Thriller that will definitely get under your skin.
Paul had created a Memorable read.
One word of warning if your easily spooked like me.... don't read this at night!!
