All I can think right now is what happens to her PARENTS. She had amazingly supportive parents and that's the real tragedy in this, I think. In a way, I actually really liked how Jessica Verday built their relationship up (even though I didn't realise Abbey's dad was in the picture at first) because I've never felt parent pity before and now it's hitting hard.

This entire series kept me enrapt from beginning to end. I am so glad I went with my gut and gave it the read. What a beautiful story that comes full circle in the end.

i only gave this a 3 because it's the conclusion to the trilogy, and i don't really think it matches the Awesomness of the first two. In addition, while the twist ending does make everything end up happily ever after, it literally pops out of nowhere, and leaves the reader rather unsatisfied. Now part of this may be because its been forever since i read the first two (5 months. i requested all three at the same time from the library, and it's taken this long for the third book to show up), and the story has faded a bit in my mind. but i think not. It really was a dissapointment.
But the bottom line is this: would i suggest the series to another reader? heck yes! The first two were good enough that i contemplated buying the series myself. now i'm pretty sure i won't (unless i become super rich), but sometime in the future I'll get them all from the library (together!) and read them again.

SECOND READ: i am just i- FUCK. the ending of this book is so good
FIRST READ: this book was so fucking beautiful. i couldn’t have asked for a better ending. i couldn’t have asked for better characters. i couldn’t have asked for a better romance (especially november 1st ;)). i wouldn’t change a single think about this book.
i’m literally crying right now, at this very moment, while writing this review. The Hidden is such a whirlwind of emotions.

I still want more. This book was unbelievable. The story was amazing. These characters get in your heart and stay there. They become like your best friends or family. The writing was awesome. These books were so easy to read. I don't get a lot of reading time and I read this in 9 days.

Glad Abbey and Caspian finally got the end they deserved. There was a lot going on in this book and I found myself skim reading towards the end because there was a lit of backstory in a small amount of writing. However it was a good book and while I don't think I'll be retreading it anytime soon I'm happy that one of the series I am reading has given its characters a happy ending!

This is the final book in the "Hollow" trilogy, and my least favorite of the bunch. Jessica Verday is one of those authors who caters pretty strongly to her target audience, which doesn't exactly include me. I'm not a huge fan of paranormal romance, or romance in general. Why am I reading this then? Well, because of the "paranormal" part. I love a good ghost story, along with a strong gothic setting, and Verday does setting exceptionally well. What I mean by catering to the target audience is she tends to spend a lot of time on scenes I'm not particularly interested in--like the love scene--and crams a lot of exposition and plot points into summary--like explaining the finer points of how the Revenants work and what the rules are in the afterlife--when I'd rather see those sorts of things expanded on.
It's not for me, but I was committed to finishing it, and the first one has a good amount of intrigue and atmosphere. However, this one ended on an extremely disturbing note, and I really didn't like the message it seems to convey.

*SPOILER*
not the best ending to a series ever.... i really wish verday could have figured out a way for abbey to have her perfume shop...to let her connect with kirsten. i mean her and caspien are like nikolas & katy and abbey was able to see them! so why cant kirsten see them? hmmm, anyways... very suspenseful & the sex scenes were tastful.
