A while ago, I was turned onto an "indie" author by the name of Amanda Hocking. The first time I ever saw her name was on the Amazon Kindle site the day I was gifted my Kindle--last Christmas. I wasn't expecting much when I bought her book, Hollowland, for $0.99 that day. All I was really expecting was a quick read that would entertain me for however long it lasted.
Hollowland turned out to be a fantastic read classified as Zombie Appocolyptic Fiction. It was highly addictive and not quickly digested by my brain. It was action and suspense and a tiny bit of romance (miniscule, really). Think of the AMC show, "The Walking Dead," except with characters between the ages of 15 and 25 and a different method to pretty much the same madness. The idea of the Zombie Appocolypse never used to seem entertaining to me; I didn't really like the idea of the world as we know it being over-run by the walking dead--a man-eat-man world... Now, I've changed my tune.
Amanda Hocking also authored a series called My Blood Approves. My Blood Approves is a series a kin to the Twilight Saga, but better (if I do say so myself). It's a lighter mood than Hollowland, maybe not as good; I enjoyed it all the same!
I highly recommend these books and I would like to know what any of you think--if you do actually read them.
Read on!

I hope that you enjoy; I know that I did. It's not really too much like The Forest of Hands and Teeth. Though they are both Zombie Appocolypse books, they're different. Where The Forest of Hands and Teeth is based in a dystopic society, Hollowland is just, well, sort of the end of society--or maybe just the lack of.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth. I will let you know what I think when I get to it.
Thanks,
Amanda
