The Hollow Ones
By Guillermo del Toro & Chuck HoganPublisher Description
A horrific crime that defies explanation, a rookie FBI agent in uncharted territory, and an extraordinary hero for the ages: an investigation spirals out of control in this heart-pounding thriller.
From the authors who brought you The Strain Trilogy comes a strange, terrifying, and darkly wondrous world of suspense, mystery, and literary horror. The Hollow Ones is a chilling, spell-binding tale, a hauntingly original new fable from Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and bestselling author Chuck Hogan featuring their most fascinating character yet.
Odessa Hardwicke's life is derailed when she's forced to turn her gun on her partner, Walt Leppo, a decorated FBI agent who turns suddenly, inexplicably violent while apprehending a rampaging murderer. The shooting, justified by self-defense, shakes the young FBI agent to her core. Devastated, Odessa is placed on desk leave pending a full investigation. But what most troubles Odessa isn't the tragedy itself -- it's the shadowy presence she thought she saw fleeing the deceased agent's body after his death.
Questioning her future with the FBI and her sanity, Hardwicke accepts a low-level assignment to clear out the belongings of a retired agent in the New York office. What she finds there will put her on the trail of a mysterious figure named Hugo Blackwood, a man of enormous means who claims to have been alive for centuries, and who is either an unhinged lunatic, or humanity's best and only defense against unspeakable evil.

“I really don't know why this book got 1 star reviews. I do think the content was a little intense at times, and there was a few intense race scenes set in the south when the one detective was younger. I honestly keep looking for another book to come out because I want to see where this story could go with the characters. I gave 4 stars because it ends so abruptly with no sequel it looks like ever...”Diverse charactersEasy to readSuspensefulDark settingDarkBigotryViolence

“I have no idea how this book was so bad it had everything going for it... IT HAD GUILLERMO DELTORO for God's sake. But nothing... there is absolutely no reason to read this book. It was good for the first 5 chapters but it fell off so quickly. It was full of annoying tropes, dumb characters (with absolutely no character development), and a downright absurd ending.”Bad writingLack of diversityPredictableUnengaging charactersUnsatisfying endingUnsatisfying plot
