Editorial Reviews

Jennifer Meegan
While I may not go out of my way to read zombie fiction, I LOVED this story. The action starts off with a bang from the first sentence and doesn't let up until the very last.... The tension throughout was pitch perfect...not too over the top but just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat wondering how in the hell the characters are going to get out of the latest jam. At times, this felt more like a fun summer blockbuster movie than a book...this is a good thing.
Jessica Armenta
The action is non-stop. It starts on the first page and really doesn't let up at all, but not to the point where you get burnt out on it. And FINALLY we have a female lead that can do things for herself! Remy is strong and courageous and does things her way to survive. There is some romance, but it's not like all the other romances in supernatural stories where the girl ends up not being able to do anything alone. It was SO refreshing.
Kristi Stern
The horrors they face are ghastly and shocking, it'll leave your heart thumping like crazy, but the story is also heart wrenching and sad with so much depth of emotion. Every chapter takes you on a roller coaster ride of full of ups and downs; and the constant question of what's going to happen next? It's virtually impossible to put this book down.
M. J. A. Ware
I was expecting it to be like Twilight, but with zombies (call it a monster love story) and that would have been okay. I was wrong, the stories' main focus in definitely smashing in zombie brains, not romance. When I read Twilight I often found myself glossing over page after page of Bella's "feelings" to get to the real story. Not so with Remy. Yes, she pauses to think about how sad it is that everyone's turned into raging zombies, but then she proceeds to stomp their undead heads in.

    Hollowland is a must read

    Another fantastic read by an amazing author Amanda Hocking. Couldn't stop reading from the very first page until the ending. Loved all of the wonderfully developed characters and the pace of this book was just perfect. Already eagerly awaiting the next publication by the super talented Ms. Hocking.

    Best Zombie Book Ever!

    I didn't think that I was going to like this book. I didn't even go into it with an open mind. But this book is awesome! I am recommending it to everyone. I e-lent it to my daughter and she loved it as well. We both have now read all of her books.

    Disturbing

    Dont get me wrong, i love amanda hocking, i live in MN so i can relate to the settings of alot of her books, but this story was, creepy. When they say its for 16+, theyre not kidding. Im 13 and love her other books, so i picked it up for a buck. It is a really good story and plot, but the setting and how freaking graphic it is just freaks me out.

    Thanks for a wonderful read

    I have found a new author to watch! Even though the books is aimed at young adults, this old adult enjoyed it too!
    Lets hope Amanda writes the sequel soon.

    I couldnt put it down!

    This book did not hold one single boring moment. I needed to keep reading more and more, even when I took a break I was anxious to come back to it. You just cant go wrong with the book. It has alk the elements you need in so little time.

    Awesome heroine

    Loved the badass heroine! Finally, not a complete love-sick bimbo. The story was great too. But what a major cliffhanger! I hope there's a sequel to this...

    In love with this book and author!

    In a word this book is phenomenal! Hollowland introduces the best and most kick ass female heroine I have ever read. Remy is a nineteen year old girl taking on the world of really smart zombies, marauders, crazy cult enthusiasts, lions, love, and saving the world. It does have some adult themes that these kids are dealing with but thats why I love it. Teens and kids even younger deal with adult situations theses days. Even though its not zombies and saving the world for them. I think Remy translates to all situations if someone is looking for or needs inspiration to stand strong. All I can say is that Remy and her gang of survivors (including Ripley the lion) are entertaining, hilarious, characters that will leave you salivating for a sequel and wanting to kick a little butt yourself.

    I Also Recommend:

    Remy may be my new favorite heroine!!!

    Breaking from her fantasy and vampire YA genre settings, the author gives us a story set in post-apocalyptic times; when people infected with a type of virus that simulates the effects of the movie style zombies have overrun the world.

    Remy, a girl looking for her brother, meets up with some new people and has to fight her way to him on a long trip north.

    Remy is the type of person that others gravitate to, either for protection or for direction. She pulls no punches and fights like a wildcat. Readers of Laurel K. Hamilton's Amanda Blake series will instantly recognize a kindred spirit in Remy, although she doesn't fall in bed with every male character like Blake does.

    The book is well paced and will definitely run the scale of your emotions. I can only hope a sequel is coming soon, as this book ends with a huge opening for one.

    not for me

    I read a little of it, skipped ahead and read a little more.....a book for kids, not for adults. (And I read a lot of paranormal stuff.)

    Great dystopian fiction

    This was a pretty god book. My only real issue was the grammar and spelling issues. I liked the plot and the characrers. Its a lot better than the sequel.
