Resumen del Editor

Teen prodigy Carol has always known she was different from the other kids, but when her talents turn supernatural; her life takes a disastrous turn.

Despite her over achievements, Carol struggles with a neurosis she calls "The Hollow". Though she believes the hollow is her private cross to bear, there is a sneaking suspicion that she is being watched, studied from the shadows.

Fear sends her fleeing from her childhood home, leaving behind her one true love, Matthew. Running is only a distraction. The hollow continues to grow, and with it comes supernatural abilities, and dangerous, uncontrollable impulses to use them. The ensuing bloodshed sends her running back to Matthew.

There is someone watching Carol, having her followed, recording all her actions, her words, her abilities. Mr. Fredericks hungers for Carol's powers and will stop at nothing to get them.

Unbearable truth emerges; Carol discovers she has been an experiment from birth. She must gain control of the hollow before the doorways to darker paths open. It's time for Carol to rise above her fears and reclaim her life once and for all.

Not your run-of-the-mill, regular romance...

This is one of those good stories where you get more than what you bargained for. At its core, it's a YA, romantic thriller, but there are elements of science fiction that make for a much deeper experience. The characters are great, and the subject matter pushes the boundaries of your standard-issue romantic plot. I liked it a lot. Recommended for anyone bored with the hackneyed romance plot-model.

The Hollow

Very interesting story and kept me listening to get to the conclusion. It's kinda young adult genre but a good story all in all.

An interesting journey...

This audiobook gives the reader a very interesting journey through the protagonist's mind / psyche.

The main question that kept me listening the whole time is - what, actually, is going on with Carol? Also, I liked the voice of the narrator.

A compelling story, highly recommended.

Interesting twist

I was pleasantly surprised by this story. Expecting a "teen-wunderkind saves the world" kind of vibe, as is the norm in this kind of story, I was relieved to find it was nothing like that. Sort of a YA/Thriller/Urban Fantasy hybrid, The Hollow was a refreshing change of pace. I appreciated the voice talent, as she is well-fitted to this story, and did a good job. I listened, based on the recommendation of an author I respect, and was not disappointed. I'll definitely keep this author in my crosshairs for future books.

YA Supernatural Thriller

I did enjoy the book even though it is young adult reading. It was interesting concept with scientific experiment with supernatural powers including telekinesis. It includes coming of age with romance between Carol and Matt and their travels with the evil Mr. Fredericks who wants Carol’s powers.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A bit YA but still quite good

This book is definitely geared towards a younger audience, but it was still a good listen. I liked the mad science stuff in the beginning and how the author depicted Carol's power starting to emerge. It was well written and had a good narrator. All in all, a great listening experience. I would definitely be open to more from this duo.

excellent story!

I was given this audio book in exchange for my honest review. The story keeps you interested throughout. It is well written with great narration. I would recommend it to anyone that likes this genre.

Psychological Thriller

I received this audiobook at my request and I am providing this voluntary review.
What is going on with Carol? The book peeked my curiosity with that question, and took me on a journey of twists and turns and kept me guessing until the heart pounding conclusion. Romance, betrayal, suspense, and science fiction all rolled into a fascinating psychological thriller. I would love to give this book five stars, but the sound quality isn't great and it kept me from being able to enjoy the book to its fullest.

Interesting

Interesting story with a mix of paranormal and supernatural that had me from the first page. Story and narration were great. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
