Premise:

A deal nearing its end.

A decision she must make.

And a truth that will change everything.

Living with Gage has introduced Eva to a world of passion and intimacy she never thought she'd ever find herself in. Her plans are falling seamlessly into place, and for the first time, her life feels almost perfect. But time is running out. Their 30-day deal is coming to a close, and with it, secrets about Gage begin to surface.

What awaits her at the end of the deal? Will their romance survive the deadline, or will it end with it?

Review:

I love it when you get a book, and you devour it in one sitting. This was one of those books. From the first page to the end, it kept the reader engaged in the storyline. Eva has made a deal with Gage - one month that would allow her to seek revenge upon the family that shut her out.

Book two picks up right where book one ends. Eva has seen something she wasn't supposed to, but she has pretty much written it off. I don't want to give too much out because it would be horrible to spoil this novel, but I recommend this series, especially if you have read the manga. It does explain a lot of things to you.

And to be honest, I don't know whether the manga has continued or not. So, pick this up if you are looking for the manga's continuation.

"Brilliant new vampire lore.... Spine-tingling!"
—L.J. Smith, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vampire Diaries

Preorder now to get a deluxe limited edition of Hollow! This special-edition hardcover will include beautifully designed endpapers and sprayed edges, a gorgeous foiled cover, and a brand-new author’s note.

From TikTok sensation Celina Myers comes a fresh, intriguing novel about a woman who finds her destiny and her family after being turned into a vampire.

Mia Adair isn’t even twenty-five yet, but she’s starting to wonder if her peak has already passed. She’s spent years working at her local bookstore, a job that was supposed to be temporary. As a kid, she experienced a strange sort of fame within the paranormal community thanks to her inclusion in a book that revealed Mia’s ability to talk with the dead. But that was then, and Mia’s “gift” dried up once adolescence set in. These days, she feels like she’s nobody special.

Until she dies in a tragic car crash and reawakens as a vampire…

Forced to leave behind everything she knew, Mia must choose to live with one of two rival vampire families. The Bellamy and Sutton clans share a dark, complicated history that spans centuries. As Mia learns about their age-old traditions and extraordinary powers, along with their forbidden romances and betrayals, she’s drawn toward two very different loves. And as she feels her gift returning, more potent than ever before, Mia realizes she’ll need it to protect innocent lives—and save the only family she has left.

Review:

There are no words to describe how horrible the writing is in this book. It needs an editor badly. I don't understand why this was released in this manner, and most of the characters were not particularly impressive. The only thing this book has going for it is the stenciled edges of the novel. Other than that, skip this book completely.
