A review by _dear_reader_
The Hollow Ones by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan

3.0

So I have mixed feelings about this one. There were many things I liked about it, such as the occult stuff which was very interesting, I can always go in for a bit of that. I loved the character of Odessa, strong and curious, someone I’d like to read more of, and found the secretiveness of Blackwood really intriguing. The general plot was great and at times I was really wrapped up in the story but occasionally I found the writing a bit stilted. I also felt the odd bit of violence seemed a bit gratuitous, without giving too much away, the baby for example.
Overall I will carry on reading the series (I assume it is the start of a serious) as now the world and characters have been set I think there’s a lot to develop here.

Thanks to Netgalley for my review copy in exchange for an honest review.
