My happy dark Place



The Hollow Gods by A. J. Vrana is beyond words. It is one of those rare times I finished a book in one day, and it was hard to tear myself away from it. I am not going to lie it had me at Kai, and the Little Red Riding Hoodesquness of it all had me falling deeply and madly in love.
The fables and mythology all weave into a breathtaking world that I never wanted to leave, and I cannot wait for the second book.
I was enraptured by everything in the book, and for a debut novel, the author did a bloody fantastic job. Kai and Miya have my heart while they fight to break the vicious cycle that has gripped the small town of Black Hollow nestled in the forest of British Columbia (yeah a made-up place in my province) and Mason *shakes head* poor poor Mason and his quest to debunk the myths only to become even more tangled up in them.
I will not say anymore even though I could go on and on about this book, but I implore you, dear reader, to snag a copy while you can because it will not disappoint you.

I am happy that someone brought this book to my attention because she was reviewing it on Instagram. Thank you @bookdragongirl for doing so. (and also the little wolf animation that brought my attention to the post).

Do you ever have that feeling where you started reading and come to the conclusion that you need this book in your life and your life will be incomplete without it? Well, this book did that for me because it had everything I look for and write in stories: curses, shadows, monsters, wolves that are men but are also wolves;) girls that are real (especially the anxiety because finally, someone understands what an anxiety attack is) forests that may or may not be haunted, flawed characters that can see their flaws and accept them, magic, dreamscapes (in all their weirdness and magic), superstitions, and a secret that will have you on the edge of your seat.

I know, I know I said I was done talking about the book, but I also forgot to mention my fingers were crossed behind my back when I did it.

Seriously, you should be stopping reading my drivel and be picking up a copy of this book now. You will not regret it, I promise ;)
