Don’t listen to the whispers of the woods.
Don’t trust the man cloaked in shadow.
Don’t earn the wrath of the scattered spirits.
Don’t go out after dark.
The Great Hunt begins once every fifty years and only the Champions willing to face death to shatter the curse dare to enter.
The Champions…and me.
I’m no warrior, no swordsmith, and certainly no Fae, but the forest is my only hope. To enter those trees is to walk willingly to my demise. But I need the boon the forest will grant the winner and I’m willing to risk it all for a chance at claiming it.
I just never expected to face him beneath those trees. The beast who strikes fear into the desperate people of all lands. The monster who commands the legion of Hollows and makes our plight a thousand times worse.
The Hollows are empty of all things but none are so heartless as him.
Prince Bane intends to be the death of me. But I have an oath to fulfil before I’ll let him have me. And I’ll do whatever it takes to achieve it.
I am Ferris Creed and I’m going to unite the lost spirits who once bound the wandering trees in place, return the scattered amulets to the core of its corruption, and use the winner’s boon to change my fate. Come wretchedness or torment, through trickery and deception, I will get what I came here for. And no one will stand in my way. Not even Prince Bane.
*** Hollow is a dark Romantasy from the bestselling authors of Zodiac Academy, Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti. It is a heady cocktail of Summoners, seduction and spirits, set to get your heart racing and feet kicking. There will be a ruinous, black hearted love interest, a rebellious, ruthless FMC, plot twists, cliff hangers, dark humour and a healthy seasoning of make-you-blush spice. It is not for the faint of heart. All those who enter the forest are bound by its terms – will you walk willingly into the dark? ***

My Review: 4/5 Stars
A new world of magic written by the Twisted Sisters and it’s another I’m going to really enjoy exploring! There is a curse is desperate need of breaking. Every fifty years the Great Hunt occurs. Champions go into the cursed woods with the goal to collect the thirteen spirits and bring them to the Great Elm. Whoever brings the most will not only break the curse but receive a boon. And that is something Ferris needs desperately. She has secretly prepared to go into the woods to begin the quest but never expects to be literally dragged into it. Death and danger surround her at every turn. With a limited amount of time, Ferris will have to find a way to survive. And meeting a Fae by the name of Hendrix is the last thing she wants. Enemies to reluctant allies, together they hunt for the spirits. But there is more to Hendrix than meets the eye and in the end only one can claim victory. This was a fun and dark new world to explore. The magic is very different than what I’ve read from these authors so far and I’ve really enjoyed getting to see their new take on magic and Fae. Ferris was a fierce and clever woman who has a way with the forest and spirits. And Hendrix while we can guess who he is and what he does, there is still a lot more to him than we know. This is just the beginning of what I think is going to be a really interesting series. And I can’t wait to see what happens next.
