The backstory: three boys, all born on the same date (7/7/77) become blood brothers on their 10th birthday, and unwittingly unleashed a long-buried demon. For seven days chaos and evil reins in Hawkins Hollow, their small Maryland town. And every seven years, it comes back even stronger. Now in 2008, they prepare for the third and most devastating attack. Only now they have their counterparts. Three women drawn to The Hollow for different reasons.
The Hollow is definitely a second act. It depends on the knowledge of the previous work and although it does have a good climax, it's clear that nothing is resolved until the next installment.
The story focuses on Fox and Layla. Of the three women involved, Layla is the most skittish. She has no tie to Hawkins Hollow and no particular desire to be involved in a life-or-death showdown. She left her job and apartment in New York when things started happening and she became, essentially, stuck in the town. Now by the second book, she's just starting to work as Fox' secretary in his law office. They're starting to explore their feelings for each other, and their semi-clairvoyant connection.
As much as I enjoyed this part of the trilogy, I'm looking forward to the conclusion and the future-related couple, Gage and Cybil.
