 Darkness, My Old Friend
by Lisa Unger

Audio Version

Wow, what a series so far. The series is called
The Hollows. The Hollows is a small town outside

New York City. 

It is such an interesting group of people in these stories.

The community is typical in some ways. Typical as you 

would expect in small town. But then, it is light years 

away from anything like any small town ever in some ways. 

No one is perfect. No one is above the rest. But there are 

surely some that think they are. There is clairvoyant action.
The police would rather not have to deal with that though. 
Even if it is helpful. There is so much going on all the time. 

Between teenagers that, of course, think they know it all. 
Teenagers that have no one monitoring them. Teenagers

that are falling in love. And they are the smallest part

of the action. 

Lisa Unger has written a terrific series. The Hollows is

mysterious, crazy, funny and compelling. You will never

know what is coming next. The narration is well done.

 Fragile

The Hollows is a mystery series that belongs in a mystery 

lovers collection. The Hollows is a small town just a ways 

from New York City. I think the location must be what 

makes it kind of like a small town but also crazy like

most big cities are. Maybe it's something in the water. 

Each story brings out another little bit of the town. 

The characters are fun and scary and genuine. The whole

town is so real it feels like you could plan a road trip. 

But maybe don't go alone. 

The thing with a small town is secrets are never really

very far gone. They will always be just below the 

surface. Even years and years later. The only thing that

changes is someone just happens to look in the right

place.  Places don't change much over time in a small 

town. So it's all right there. Waiting for someone to look. 

So who is going to look?? 

Lisa Unger has introduced a wonderful town with

great characters. You just never know what you will 

find. Who will surprise you the most?

 Confessions on the 7:45

by Lisa Unger

Audio Version

A friend of mine had posted that she wanted to 

read this one on Goodreads. The title and the short

synopsis I found sounded so interesting. I mean,

Confessions on the 7:45. Doesn't the title alone make

you want to check it out? I don't read

mysteries very often. But I just in the mood that day.

My library had the audio version with a long waiting 

list. Which isn't unusual for newer items. But I lucked

out and it was ready for me in no time.

My first time reading Lisa Unger. She certainly wowed me! 

She had a way of introducing the characters that was easy

for me to keep them straight. But I have to say, the time 

perspective changes, back and forth, often, during the story. 

I did not find it hard to follow most of the time. I made a

mental note of particular characters at the beginning. 

There is really no way to write a review with any 

information that doesn't include a  spoiler. 

The story is full of intrigue from the very start. 

You will be compelled to listen so close. You won't

want to miss a single word. 

I loved the story. I believe I will be a continued

Lisa Unger fan. It is 12 1/2 hours listening time. 

So you will for sure get your moneys worth. 
There is not a minute of down time. The story

moves right along. The narration is fabulous. 
Her name is Vivienne Leheny.
