The Blood We Crave

Hollow Boys, Book 3

By: Monty Jay

Narrated by: Lucy Rivers, Grayson Owens

My secrets are infested with infatuation. His cravings are dripping in blood. Is it love? Or is it something much darker . . . An obsession. Death found me as a young girl. Latching onto the core of my soul. No one knows what that horrid night did to me. What kind of monster it flourished inside me. I'd become a ghost, hiding from the world so that people would never find out about the morbid desire I harbor. Until he noticed me. Thatcher Alexander Pierson: Cunning. Sharp. Beautiful. A man bred from the seed of a serial killer. Stitched together with old money and Dolce & Gabbana clothing. He is my strongest fixation. My sweetest, darkest addiction. And I'm his phantom. I have haunted him my entire life and now? He sees me for exactly what I am. A killer. I sicken him. But he has always mesmerized me.

When a copycat murderer prowls among the trees of Ponderosa Springs, our loyalty is tested. It had been foolish of us to believe our revenge would go unpunished. That the town wouldn't retaliate after what we did. With our lives hanging in the balance, Thatcher and I have no choice but to coexist. In the twilight of musty cabins and haunted library towers, my somber secrets are exposed, and his cravings are revealed. So the question is . . . What is love without obsession?

Contains mature themes.

Amazing voice actors

The narrators did a great job especially Grayson Owens, he really gave life to his character. Great story too. This book has too much inner monologue that’s just what irritated me but I just could not stop now. I’m too invested.

Love this series!

Lucy and Grayson really do a great job with Lyra and Thatcher. I am so excited to listen to the next book! I love the story and Ponderosa Springs.

Scared Bully Meets his match

Thatcher & Lyra are two people whose paths would have crossed if it wasn’t for his murderer father. Thatcher’s mercy on Lyra later haunts him, literally. She begins stalking him after the death of her mother. Her compulsion to follow him and his need for control clash throughout the book. It causes so many issues while they are trying to hunt down HALO. The tension between these two will have you on the edge of our seat. It was a roller coaster of emotions all throughout this book. I hated that it ended on a cliffy. Thank God the series is done so I can start the next book

I didn’t think I was into blood until…

Although I’m bummed to realize this story is split into 2 books, Thatch & Lyra’s story is by far my favorite in this series! Their characters are so complex - my heart ached for them.

Grayson Owens narration of Thatcher makes him leap out of the story and grab hold of you from start to finish. Lucy Rivers brings a level of excitement to the adorable bug girl, that is Lyra.

I only wish this was duet narration - I’m not a fan of Lucy’s male voices, but great story nonetheless. Will be purchasing the 2nd part in paperback!

The love story

I loved it all. This series has been incredible and I cannot wait for the next one to drop May 14.
