A forbidden, timeless, and haunting love story.

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Fallon who was taken far away from home shortly after she was born.
A home that held more than strange traditions and bizarre superstitions.
Twenty-four years later, she returned to Weeping Hollow, a town she’d only heard about in stories during restless nights under a marble moon, in the middle of the night to take care of her last living relative.
They called the nosy mortician a freakshow–a ghastly thing.
They said I couldn’t go near her.
Still, there was this aching pull to Fallon Grimaldi that I couldn’t escape.
A nostalgic pull as if we’d been here before.

Once upon a time, there lived a mysterious boy named Julian with a curse as old as centuries wrapped around his soul.
He was one of the four Hollow Heathens, the very dark creatures who caused the town’s people to live in fear.
And the Blackwell name was stained with darkness and death.
They called him a monster. Cold and hollow.
They said I shouldn’t go near him.
Still, there was this aching pull to Julian Blackwell that I couldn’t escape.
A nostalgic pull as if we’d been here before.

HOLLOW HEATHENS ———————————————

This was another spooky season read I read in 2024! After Erica and I buddy read this one, she says "are we goth now??" 🖤💀

I really loved this haunting, emotional, Romeo and Juliet like story of Fallon and Julian. The town of Weeping Hollow lures you in and you become invested in all the covens and curses and mystery surrounding the Hollow Heathens.

Downsides for me were that I never fully understood what powers Julian had because he seemed completely powerless 99% of the time and the Heathen mask curse was kind of lame and the rules were unclear. Just half of the face has to be covered or people will die? Ok…. I would have more questions than Fallon seemed to have regarding this life or death accessory piece of cloth 🤔

The pacing felt a little off and rushed at the end. I wanted more of a redemption tour 🔪 but this book was hard to put down and I really enjoyed it.

BONE ISLAND ———————————————————

This interconnected standalone follows Adora and Stone and their story in Weeping Hollow and picks up right where Hollow Heathens left off. Adora is not as likable as Fallon, she's kind of giving some Nesta vibes 😆

I did enjoy this one but it was unnecessarily long and Adora irritated me a few too many times. The curse never made sense to me (again) and the magical solution to breaking the curse didn't feel like an AHA moment. I just found myself asking "huh?" the entire time. Being confused after 680 pages is rather annoying. BUT, it's a sweet story and had 🌶️ and some well written character development. I'm not mad about reading it.

HOLLOW HEATHENS ———————————————

I only read this out of the 2 interconnected standalones. I still might read Bone Island one day - let's see where this wild ride takes me. This is a perfect spooky season read. Just envision a small foggy creepy town and super hot masked dudes. I mean what more do you need? It definitely left us with a lot of questions and things were vague but I don't think I really cared overall. I still really liked it!
