The Hollow

As promised, I just finished The Hollow by Nora Roberts.

In this second one, we meet (get to know better, really) Fox and Layla. Fox is a lawyer who is best friends with Cal (Blood Brothers) and Gage (The Pagan Stone) has been fighting the Big Bad Evil the last 21 years of his life.

What's different about Fox? He fell in love before, with Carly. And she came to Hawkin's Hollow during the Seven.

Layla works at a boutique in Mew York, until she ups and leaves to come to Hawkin's Hollow to fight the Big Bad without even knowing why. She's a little scared (being the only outsider with no close ties), but determined.

In this one they have a lot more attacks, but they aren't all that scary. Don't know if it's my already low expectations (I was seriously disappointed the first time I read this one), or they just weren't stellar.

Even the last one, the one that's supposed to be huge and the ultimate scare of the book was...well, a little flat.

So now we wait for The Pagan Stone starring Gage and Cybil, who have promised each other that they won't fall in love. Yeah...that's going to happen.
