The Hollow by Jessica Verday

The Hollow by Jessica Verday

I give it 3.5 stars out of 5

Abbey's best friend Kristin is missing. Everyone else has moved on to believe she is dead and a funeral is underway, but Abbey won't lose faith that Kristin will be found alive. While at the funeral she meets the mysterious Caspian who is a couple of years older and seems to take an interest in Abbey's plight.

Based in the town of Sleepy Hollow and referencing the legend in the book you can guess where the title comes from. It was an enjoyable read knowing it is the first of a trilogy, without that knowledge I would have been terribly disappointed. I wonder if other reviewers that rated it more poorly just don't know there will be more to the story. If you enjoy the YA genre then you may find this to be a good read.

Language: mild to moderate language from the teens

Spiritual Elements: Moderate (can't expound without spoilers)

Sexual Content: None

My First Blog

So I have never done this before, although Facebook statuses can often turn into mini blogs, so please be patient with me as I figure things out! I am a 34 yr old mom of 4 kids proudly married for 16 yrs to an Air Force man. My children are 1, 5, 10, and 14 with my oldest being Darien who has Cerebral Palsy and is severely disabled... I'm sure I'll blog more about my children as time goes on, they are a constant source of stress and laughter all at once!

I love photography and scrapbooking, mostly I love pictures because they represent parts of our lives that we might otherwise forget if it wasn't frozen on a piece of paper forever. If you haven't used your camera lately then dig that sucker out and USE IT!! I really enjoy cooking and baking and trying new things, but I HATE (hate is a tough word too) cleaning afterwards.

So this blog is going to be so completely random I can't even describe it. I will post book reviews because I LOVE to read. I may blog about photo sessions if they are particularly enjoyable and the people involved approve. I know that there will be plenty of blogging about my rugrats, my constant entertainment

For the most part you will hear the inner workings of the brain of an Air Force Brat turned Air Force Wife with 4 kids, 2 dogs and lots of dust bunnies. Enjoy a few laughs at my expense, chances are I'm laughing right along with you!!
