The Hollow Dead
Ratings4
Average rating4.3
When Keira first woke alone in a strange forest, she remembered only two things: that she could speak with the dead, helping them move on from the mortal world, and that sinister mask-wearing men were hunting her. She had no idea what she’d done to earn their hatred or what dangerous secrets she may have uncovered.
Until now.
Peeling back layer upon layer of the mystery surrounding her origins, Keira has finally learned that the strange masked men work for Artec, an organization profiting off spectral energy produced by hundreds of chained, tormented souls. Their goal is to spread their macabre cemeteries across the world, using the agony of the dead to extend their power and reach―and only Keira and her loyal group of friends can stop them. But there are still mysteries to uncover in Keira’s foggy memories, and as she prepares to fight for the souls of the tormented dead, what she doesn’t know about her own past may come back to haunt her.

The Hollow Dead is the 4th book in the Graveyard series. After waking up with no memory and being chased through the woods by mysterious men Keira ends up in the small town of Blighty. There she finds shelter thanks to a pastor and after realizing she is now safe, she starts to make a home in Blighty all the while trying to piece together her past. Oh, and she also sees ghosts. She soon befriends Zoe and Mason and together they start trying to figure out who is hunting Keira and how her power works. As Keira learns about her ability to see ghosts she starts helping people, both dead and alive, with some unfinished business. We now know that the people responsible for hunting Keira are apart of a company called Artec that are doing some sinister things to the ghosts that end up in their cemeteries to produce energy and profit. The 4th book continues on the story where and we get to learn about Keira's past and watch the ever evolving relationships she's made along the way.
While I think this book is integral to the story it was my least favorite of the series. I thought that it felt both rushed and slow at the same time. I didn't connect with the characters I've come to love so much as I have with the past books. However, that is not saying that it isn't worth the read. After getting so invested in this story it felt so satisfying to finally get some answers and see how the relationships between Keira, Zoe, and Mason are growing and becoming even more meaningful. Also to see Keira's relationship with herself evolving is beautiful.
Finally, Daisy the cat will always be 5 stars! We also got to learn more about Daisy which I think may have been my favorite part.
