Grim Hill: The Secret Deepens

In the second "Grim Hill" book, we rejoin Cat Peters following a soul-shaking Halloween. Thankfully, things have finally gotten back to normal for Cat. Now the big drama in her life isn't a battle against diabolical fairies, but a battle of the sexes on the soccer field. Meanwhile, ever since escaping her imprisonment in Grim Hill, Cat's little sister Sookie has only been interested in one thing:  magic.When the aspiring conjurer takes her discoveries too far, it is up to Cat to set things straight. Can she really bear to return to the dreaded Grim Hill for a final confrontation with the powerful beings that dwell there?

Awards and Reviews:

“Tying in Celtic mythology themes and fairyland magic, DeMeulemeester weaves an entertaining story that will appeal to fans of mysteries and fantasies.” –Booklist, November 2008

“Darker (and a little spookier) than its predecessor, Grim Hill’s plot is tightly knit ... DeMeulemeester does an impressive job of weaving in sports, academics, an entertaining cast of characters, along with authentic Celtic fairy lore. Sookie’s character is deliciously eerie (she’s certainly not your typical tag-a-long little sister), and Cat’s character is truthful and feisty without being brazen ... wholly refreshing ... DeMeulemeester has seemingly hit her stride.” –CM: Canadian Review of Materials, September 2008

“... the second book in what is emerging as a winning, fun and spooky series.” –Montreal Review of Books, Fall 2008

Awards and Reviews for the “Grim Hill” Series:

“DeMeulemeester has researched her subjects, and she applies her research well. The last words hint that the adventure isn't quite over yet, which is good news for readers. ... solid tween appeal ...” – The Globe and Mail, April 2007

“... a protagonist who is self-centred enough to be interesting, a precocious kid sister who deserves her own book and a plot that bubbles along at a magical pace ... creepy enough to cast a spell over anyone who reads it! Rated E for Excellent.” – Resource Links, June 2007
