The Hollow by Jessica Verday is the first book in the trilogy. This book keeps you on your toes with twists and turns where you would never suspect them. This book is full of mystery and romance. I really enjoyed reading this book, sometimes I had a hard time putting it down. I would recommend this to anyone who likes mystery and romance.
