Dark Hollows

(Finn McCoy Book 4) Book Review

By Scott Langrel

Finished 03-12-2019

Genre: Paranormal Thriller

Basic Plot: Finn McCoy is back and up against something strong. Stronger than he’s ever faced before. But with Pru back by his side, can The Handler get them out of this one?

This series is really shaping up now. It’s turning into a top favorite slowly but surely. A slow burn of sorts but since each book being less than 200 pages makes it still relatively easy to fly through. Now, I may be personally biased in my much higher approval of this one considering *SPOILER* an entity I’m highly infatuated with is the main focus this time, demons. Intriguing and hard hitting as never before really, Pru comes back, which I think is a very nice additive to the story line since Pru is probably the most developing character. Langrel’s other recurring faces like Sheriff Talbot and Amanda are loveable sidekicks for McCoy at this point but Pru really has a way of shining which comes out much more in this installment. His female characters overall actually are quite realistic and interesting. There’s really no lack of diversity with their personalities, they display realistic characteristics and their dialogue feels so natural. Overall, Langrel’s dialogue has a natural quality to it but the interactions of the females, especially with McCoy himself makes for good entertainment and realism to this otherwise unbleievable and nerve wracking plot line. There’s also no lack of build to an overall arc in this one now, a lot more allusion is happening and the series feels like it’s gaining its legs getting ready to run.

I have the a 4 out of 5 actually. The topic chosen was enticing (even if I am biased, this still is a strong topic and his research on the entity chosen, although not necessarily vast, was well done), the character building is going very well and feels much more realistic now, and his new characters are much more lively and interesting than some others. This one really had a lot of good aspects and I feel like the series is really taking a turn and developing well.
