Publisher's summary

From Amazon's number-one best-selling author in Gothic romance comes a haunting and forbidden love strong enough to murder fears and break centuries-old curses.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Fallon who was taken far away from home shortly after she was born. A home that held more than strange traditions and bizarre superstitions. Twenty-four years later, she returned to Weeping Hollow, a town she'd only heard about in stories during restless nights under a marble moon, to take care of her last living relative.

They called the nosy mortician a freakshow--a ghastly thing. They said I couldn't go near her. Still, there was this aching pull to Fallon Grimaldi that I couldn't escape. A nostalgic pull as if we'd been here before.

Once upon a time, there lived a mysterious boy named Julian with a curse as old as centuries wrapped around his soul. He was one of the four Hollow Heathens, the very dark creatures who caused the townspeople to live in fear. And the Blackwell name was stained with darkness and death. They called him a monster. Cold and hollow. They said I shouldn't go near him. Still, there was this aching pull to Julian Blackwell that I couldn't escape. A nostalgic pull as if we'd been here before.

Hollow Heathens can be listened to as a stand-alone or within the interconnected series. For a better listening experience, listen to the books in the order they are published.

Do not skip this audio

I will preface this review by saying I am NOT an audiobooks lover. No matter how much I love the story, I just tend to find something missing. That being said, I could not get enough of this audiobook. The narrators were perfection. Hearing my favorite lines being recited just did something happy to my soul. 10/10 would recommend!

It’s perfect!!

I love this book so much! I’m so happy to have an audible version in my hands. The narrator is great. She brings Fallon to life. I also love Grandpa Benny voice. If your looking for a great spooky read this is the book for you. Hollow heathens has it all mystery, suspense, love, and found family. The characters are awesome and the narration does a great job bring this wonderful book to life. It even better than I hoped for. I am going to be listening to this book multiple times I just know it! 💕🥰😍

Haunting story brought to life!

I absolutely love Hollow Heathens - is the perfect read for spooky season. These narrators did such an amazing job being Julian, Fallon and co. to life! It felt like sitting around a campfire listening to someone tell a scary story.

Give this a listen if you like a story with equal parts dark magic, romance, mystery, haunted town, curses and MORE!

Love the Heathens!

I absolutely loved this audiobook. The voices were so captivating and the story was so beautiful and haunting.

Slow Burn with an interesting plot/story

Narration
The narration was absolutely amazing and intoxicating. it kept me entertained throughout the whole book. they made me giggle and feel like I was there. I was initially confused when I saw three narrators but I loved that they separated past character with the present characters.

Story
The story was captivating and made you want to keep reading to get more answers. Not to mention that covens, witches, and slow burn. The story read as a YA or as if the characters were high schoolers and not individuals in their 20s. This was a roller coaster read and the ending made me want me to continue the series haha

Beautiful Performance!

Excellent delivery by these narrators! Loved their performance and the story had me to intrigued! I want more!!!

I Loved it

I had previously read Hollow Heathens and was quite excited to listen to the audiobook version of it and omg.... it was so much better than I anticipated.  

This gothic, forbidden, haunting romance was perfect for this October season and I loved listening to it even more than reading the book. The narrators, Lilly Drake, Vincent Sky and Zara Eden, were all fantastic and took the story to another level. Their voices were clear and understandable and they brought the character to life and portrayed so much emotion in the story, you feel as though you were right there with them. 

This story was a captivating, engrossing twisted tale filled with magic, mystery, romance, curses, suspense and so much more. It was a pleasure listening to the narrators who all made this an enjoyable listening experience.

Amazing

This book came highly recommended and it did not fall flat! I LOVED the narrators! The story as a whole was entirely enchanting and kept you on your toes!

Reads like a YA novel.

Overall it was ok. The plot was interesting, but the story took way too long to come to a conclusion.
