A review by rlgeerrobbins
Hollow Heathens by Nicole Fiorina
4.0
The book cover drew me in; the possibility kept me turning the pages.
The idea of there being a secret town that only 'the chosen' can visit, drenched in magic, and a group of bad boys and an innocent girl.... how can it not win.
First- I am thrilled that the MC, Fallon, was not an 18-year-old girl still in high school.
Second- I am thrilled that the main characters don't save the world in three months. This time, they are just saving their small hidden town. Much more believable.
Third- while there were parts of the book that I had to reread to understand where the author was going, it was generally a pleasant read. I was rooting for Julian and his band of misfits, fingers crossed that the curse besotted on them could be lifted. Fallon seemed more challenging for me to buy into, not because of anything the author wrote regarding personality- but because I couldn't imagine what she looked like.
Did she look like a ghost? Did she not? I am not sure.
Finally, the book left off on a cliff hanger, which I was pleasantly happy about. I wasn't ready to put the characters back on the book shelf.
