The Hollow - Nora Roberts

In between moving into our new place,

having a swarm of fundis

(carpenters, plumbers, painters, etc)

fixing things in the house,

unpacking,

studying,

going to the gym,

and

fetching Ethan from school

I've found some time

to read!

The Hollow is the second part of

The Sign of Seven Trilogy.

And while the story continues

with our boys trying to find a way

to beat the Big Evil,

this is Fox and Layla's story.

Layla also possesses the gift 

of seeing the present

and Fox helps her learn to use and control it.

Unlike the men

who were part of this since the beginning

and Quinn and Cybil

who were friends before

Layla is the outsider.

Something brought her there.

She is still unsure of herself

and what the future holds.

I love Fox.

He grew up in a vegan house

hippies and all

but he loves his snacks

and processed food.

He's true.

He's there for everyone.

He puts others first.

Layla...

I don't know.

While she's the outsider 

in this group,

she seems to hold that against Fox.

She can't commit to him,

yet fully commits to other things.

Either way,

book 3 is up next,

and you know I'll be reading it!
