The Hollows

The third series that I found by Amanda Hockings through Amazon Kindle was The Hollows. There are currently two books in the series Hollowland and Hollowmen. To read excerpts from the first book check out http://thehollowsseries.blogspot.com/p/hollowland-excerpt.html. What I really loved about this series was that the main character is just your average nine-teen year-old girl, but when the “shit hits the fan” she becomes your ultimate badass. 

This book takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting where zombies have populated the world, leaving the world in waste.  “Nineteen-year-old Remy King is on a mission to get across the wasteland left of America, and nothing will stand in her way - not violent marauders, a spoiled rock star, or an army of flesh-eating zombies” (Amanda Hocking’s Blog).  Ever since her brother was bitten and wasn’t taken over by the virus, he has been in quarantine under constant watch.   After their facility was attached by zombies, her brother was evacuated and Remy has been searching the country for him since. 

This book has action from the very beginning and Remy constantly has to fight off zombies as she hunts for her brother. She comes off as fearless because of her strong motivation to find him. Along the way she meets people who begin to travel with her, probably because they realize they have a higher chance of survival with her than alone. As she journeys across the country she is not only faced with zombies but all sorts of evil, even a creepy man that “protects” all these little girls. Overall this book is filled with action, suspense, gore, and even some romance.
