![]() ![]() And I think they play a bigger role in the sequel (but I haven’t read the synopsis yet – surprise, surprise). There are some seriously bone chilling moments in this book, especially toward the end. But make no mistake, their presence is definitely felt. Just to be clear, the vampires are not the main event of this story more so a constant threat. ![]() This is what this book is really about – Katie’s journey and the growing threat of the vampires. Worse, she sees the truth her Elders won’t admit to. Katie’s secrets grow bigger and she grows more distant from her community. Then when she learns of the true horrors stalking the night, she can no longer go back to her peaceful life. And when a boy shows up injured at their fence, she is unwilling to let him die. When people start disappearing from the local town, she is not so quick to follow the guidance of her Elders. She was different than the others in her Amish community - more free-thinking, less obedient, and unafraid of change. I really liked Katie and I was glad that she wasn’t afraid to question things and find her own path. Throw in a vampire apocalypse and you’ve got one pretty un-put-down-able book. Their way of life is obviously very different from my own so I loved reading about it. This is the first book that I have read about the Amish community and I admit that I was a little enraptured by it. The Hallowed Ones came highly recommended from my blogging bestie Kay, and I have to say that it did not disappoint. ![]()
