The Hollow

De: Kiersten Modglin

Narrado por: Diana Bustelo

After experiencing a personal tragedy, Carmen McKenna finds Hunter’s Hollow—a bustling campground in rural North Carolina—to be her new home and worst nightmare. Despite the promises of a chosen family and a safe place to grow up, living next door to the Hunters’ two sons comes with its own set of challenges.

Jack and Dean introduce Carmen to a world she’s never known—one filled with young love, first heartbreak, and sinister secrets. When a body is found at Hunter’s Hollow, instantly shattering the tranquil façade that has surrounded the campground, the residents are forced to accept the truth: a killer is among them. As the police search for answers to no avail, Carmen leaves the campground in hopes of clearing her mind and healing her broken heart.

Now, eleven years later and with the case still unsolved, Carmen returns to face the past and discover the truth about that terrible night. Before she can, a guest is reported missing from the campground and the circumstances are all too similar to the horror Carmen once faced. They say you can’t go home again, but when buried secrets call to Carmen from Hunter’s Hollow, she’s determined to learn the truth about what happened back then—and what’s happening now—if it’s the last thing she does.

Returning to once again blur the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a sun-soaked, nostalgic, and completely twisted romantic thriller.

One of her better ones.

Although off to a slow start, this proved to be a good novel. Less mystery and more romance, in the end, I really enjoyed this book. Well thought out characters and good narration.

Not her best

Disappointed with this book compared to her other books. Beginning felt slow and the ending felt rushed and unfinished.

Describing Language

Carmen was so moody and often negative -she made assumptions and over reacted -but conversely her descriptions of experiences was well done

It was alright.

This was more of a love story than it was a thriller, and it seemed to go on much longer than it needed to. There was a suspenseful situation wrapped in, but it could've easily been solved much sooner, and Carmen could've come to terms much faster about her feelings for Jack and Dean.

Disappointed

I'm sorry to Ms. Modglin but this was not at all up to standard. I've read most of her books and enjoyed them. However, in my opinion this read like a young adult Nancy Drew mystery. The back and forth timelines were difficult to follow and the story itself held nothing more. The long winded summary of feelings by the star of the show did nothing for a poorly written ending.

really really slow

I thought this was a thriller type of book. boy was I wrong.
I'm not even sure if this book was about anything!?
wish I could get a credit back for this one.

My least favorite book by this author

I recently discovered this author and listened to about six of her audiobooks, which I loved. I thought this new one would be good but, I had a hard time listening as it flipped back-and-forth between past and present. There was no suspense like her others. No twists and turns … Just a young love story. Some may like it, I did not.

Horrible

I normally love this author, so I continued listening, waiting for the suspense, the twist, something. It was like a teenage romance novel. Nothing more. Waste of a credit.

Very slow read

After reading 12 chapters I was exhausted! I kept hoping that the story would pick up but it never happened. I had high hopes but unfortunately I was disappointed.
