The Hollow Ones by Guillermo del Toro, Chuck Hogan
5.0

I really enjoyed this book - a lot more than I thought I was going to based on the first few sections. I’m glad I stuck with it because it took a turn for the better.

If you’re looking for a modern mystery/thriller with an occult twist, I highly recommend this one. I would also steer fans of True Detective to this book as well as it gave me a lot of similarities. The use of time and supernatural elements worked perfectly, and I thought that the commentary this story provided on suffering and grievances was interesting. I also enjoyed the writing and the layout of the story. Definitely one of the better books of 2020 for me (and there are quite a few).

I’m glad that I decided to pick this up and I’m looking forward to future volumes.
