“You believe you’re gazing at the stars, when, in all reality, the entire galaxy is gazing at you.”

Where do I even begin? I will forever love this book as it was the first to introduce me to Nicole Fiorina,and she instantly became one of my absolute favourite writers. Her writing and stories have come to mean a lot to me.

I first read Hollow Heathens last year and fell in love multiple times. With this world, with this story, these characters, Julian & Fallon, and above all Nicole’s writing. I was going to leave my reread closer to Bone Island’s release, but I was missing Julian and Fallon

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this story, I felt it had a lot of potential and just didn't quite get there BUT I was absolutely all smiles at the end. It was an enjoyable interesting read.

This is for all the weirdos who need to hear how unique they truly are.

genre: paranormal romance
pages: 524
writing: single POV / dual narration
rating: ★★★★ [4/5]
spice: open door

I absolutely loved this read for fall! I did most of my reading through the audiobook which was excellent, although…both narrators have a slight lisp which took me a little out of the story.

The book has so many great elements which makes it the perfect spooky read:

•mysterious small town
•misty Maine coast & haunted forest setting
•cursed anti-hero
•outsider FMC who works as a mortician and can see ghosts
•The Covenant vibes but make it adults

I loved Fallon and Julian and even though their romance was a constant back and worth, I was ruling for them throughout.

The story lost me a little around the halfway point and I’m not fully convinced the dual timelines was necessary but it made up for it with a great ending which has me itching to pick up the sequel.

A word of caution though, this story shows on page animal cruelty.

This was so disappointing. I loved the concept, the beginning and the writing style, but the characters and romance fell so flat for me. The plot felt slow, which would have been fine if I would have cared for the characters, which I didn’t. They were supposed to be adults but were behaving like teenagers. I really wish I would have liked this more because the concept was so intriguing, but alas.
