A zombie apocalypse isn’t a new idea, but if you can write a book well enough, you can make it feel new to the reader. I feel that Hocking tried to write it well, with a strong heroine with a dangerous mission, driven by the concern for a younger sibling, the only surviving family she has left…but it just didn’t work. Remy King, the heroine, is on the search for her brother, Max, that was shipped off to another quarantine (where they hold the non-infected humans) somewhere maybe in Wyoming. We have no idea where the girls are though, they might be in Texas, which would be a really long trek.Two other girls, Harlow and Sommer, accompany her on the search, that is until Sommer wrestles with a zombie and she’s not allowed to stay with the party.

Remy tells us about “Lyssavirus genotype 8”, the reason why there are zombies, and we get nine sentences as to what “Lyssavirus genotype 8” is and what it does to the zombies. Nine sentences. Then it isn’t mentioned again nor ever explained. What is lyssavirus genotype 8? Why does it have such a long name? Who started it? Are we talking clumsy scientist(s) that wanted to create a better breakfast meal and accidentally messed things up when he added Kraft’s Mac & Cheese’s cheese mix to the solution? Or mad scientist(s) that wanted to create an unstoppable human but tested it out on a monkey and the monkey went a-wall? How did it get to the public? Is anyone looking for a cure? How long has this zombie apocalypse been going on? Are Remy’s parents dead? Are they zombies? I know this is a ploy to make the reader ask questions so that you’ll want to read the next book to find the answers, but this was delivered poorly. And if I have to read “death groan” one more time, I might die and become a zombie. Zombies groan, I get it.

They find Private Beck who was the one that told them that Max is somewhere in Wyoming. Remy asks him to come with them, but he says that he can’t. Suddenly, there’s a tearful goodbye between Remy and Beck. It could’ve been a tear-jerking scene, but unfortunately it wasn’t because at the very most, the character(s)'s eyes got moist. My eyes get moist when I yawn, big deal.

Harlow and Remy walk in the desert (so maybe they are in Texas?) and eventually befriend a lioness and the lioness is tame for some reason. (What?) They find an abandoned home stocked with food and clothes and meet a guy named “Blue” and some famous rockstar and immediately trust them. Nineteen and thirteen year old girls shouldn’t just trust older men, rockstar or not, that’s very dangerous. They drive around (they found working cars) and apparently they’re close to Las Vegas. So at least I know where they are on the map.

Out of all the things in the book, the most unacceptable issue was when they stumble upon a cult led by a man named Korech who has two tigers. (The only explanation that readers are given as to why these tigers (and lions and bears oh my!) are so tame is because they were show animals.) The situation gets weirder when Harlow informs Remy (and the reader) that it’s encouraged for all the girls to wear sexy lingerie because their “bodies are beautiful, so under the humble clothing we need to dress it up.” Doesn’t that sound at least a little bit…wrong? Is Harlow really this dense? Who wouldn’t be suspicious when Korech takes one of the girls into his room for “cleansing”? Remy mentioned that there was a Bible in Korech’s home and that he preached about the Messiah’s second coming. So I would assume that Hocking is implying that this is a cult of “Christians”, which is confirmed later on in the book. The things that are implied that Korech and his cult are doing are NOT a part of Christianity (Korech making it seem like he (a human) is Christ, the book saying that Korech is having sex with all of the girls (“He had sex with all of the girls and called it a cleansing ritual. (Vega)”, that Korech can “cleanse” people of their sins, Vega says that she is “the light, the truth, and the way”, etc). This section is rude and disrespectful to the Christian faith and unnecessary. It was only there in a sad attempt to add suspense and make Remy seem like a heroine because she thinks something is off (an understatement) and wants to leave so she can look for her brother. However, for someone who really wants to find her brother, she barely thinks of him until they conveniently need a reason to leave some place.

By the time you reach the end of the book, all you've read about is a whiny, immature, temperamental, and confused nineteen-year old "heroine that has (too) many fight scenes where she "single-handedly" fights off a ridiculous amount of zombies by a) shooting them b) hitting them with her gun c) setting them on fire or d) punching them in the face.

The ending was just as poorly written and was a bad attempt at creating an exciting cliffhanger so that you’ll read the next book. But I think it's obvious I won’t be.

Book Review- Hollowland by Amanda Hocking

Remy and others are quarantined in an old high school. They are not infected with the virus that turns those infected into Zombie-like creatures. Unfortunately those creatures have attacked the high school and Remy has to find her brother. She and two other girls go searching. The Zombies are everywhere. Remy makes it to the medical area. Beck is there but her brother isn’t. He was evacuated. She and the girls need to flee. She realizes Beck has to stay behind. She never sees him again.
She escapes with another girl and they begin their journey to another facility. As they travel they add two more people to their group and a lioness. Remy tries to keep everyone safe and fights several zombies. They meet new people along the way. Remy is determined to find her brother Max. She refuses to stop until she finds him. She also refuses to get anyone killed over her. She has to make some tough decisions.
This book was full of actions. I couldn’t put it down. It introduces Remy as a strong character. She is a fighter and refuses to give up. She protects those around her the best she can. She was my favorite character from the very beginning.
The reader is along for the ride walking side by side with the group as they search for the other quarantine base that her brother may be at. The storyline is unique as a virus causes the downfall of humanity. It is fascinating to see what those not infected do to survive and what the government will do to stop the destruction.
This is a great read with great characters. It keeps you on your toes as the story progresses. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I give it a 4 out of 5.
