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.
