I love young adult books, even though I'm far from age in that genre. I look for YA books that evoke mystery and where the romance is sweet and budding. This book met both of those needs and even more.  First, the cover drew me in. It's amazing and I had to figure out where the girl was going, so I was compelled to buy it and find out. The characters are well written, fleshed out and I was able to relate to them on a deep level.  I admired Sera greatly. The fact that her entire life she has been warned with the threat of dire consequences to not use her gift, her need to help...to heal...overcomes any fear for her own safety. It's a quality that says this will be a great woman later in life.  Zach...what can I say?  I just wanted to wrap him up in a big hug and tell him it would be okay.  Luckily, he didn't need that. He had Sera come into his life and step forward to care for him. Summer Stone's writing is impeccable. Her dialogue flows so naturally, you are fully immersed in the story. Her descriptive writing is amazing too.  I felt the power of The Hollow thumping around me the first time Sera stepped into it. I cannot wait to read more from this author. She is quite a talent.
