The Hollow Gods by A.J. Vrana

4.0

A dark fairytale mixed in with contemporary elements. In the town of Black Hollow there is a dark secret... there is a mystical figure known as the Dreamwalker that will lure young women into the woods and possess them... but when young girls start going missing and only returning as dead bodies... things start getting weird. Kai, a loner who can also turn into a wolf, is being haunted by an evil spirit. He constantly wakes up next to the dead bodies of the missing girl but he knows for sure that every time he goes to help them he passes out with no memory of what has happened. Miya is a university student who is failing but when she finds one of the missing girls and runs into Kai her life starts going off path. Soon Kai and Miya find themselves constantly drawn to the other and must figure out who is killing these girls and who will be the Deamwalker’s next victim. Throw in a very curious oncologist named Mason who is hellbent on debunking the town’s superstitions suddenly finding his sanity tested when he bumps into Kai and Miya and the mystical beings surrounding them. This was definitely an interesting read and I enjoyed the fairytale-esque feel to the story.
