Seventeen-year-old Lila Torres can feel it the moment she steps onto the dock of Hollow Lake again. The water glimmers unnaturally, shadows twist where they shouldn't, and whispers drift through the trees, calling names she thought she'd left behind. A year has passed since the Hollow first claimed Lucas, and the group thought they had escaped its grasp. But the Hollow is patient, feeding on memory and secrets, stretching its reach into the world they know. Reuniting with childhood friends Eli and Lucas, and alongside her twin sister Aria, Lila discovers that the Hollow is no longer confined beneath the lake. Dreams bleed into reality, symbols carved into trees pulse with hidden meaning, and Rowan appears-fading, warning them of dangers they cannot yet understand. As the group unravels clues about their missing uncle and a secret society that has long guarded the Hollow, Lila realizes the lake is more than a parallel world-it is a living entity, hungry for the town's past. When Aria is pulled into the Hollow during a confrontation with the entity, Lila must confront fears, memories, and the limits of her courage to save her sister before the Hollow consumes them all. The Hollow Above is a heart-pounding coming-of-age thriller blending supernatural terror, small-town secrets, and the bittersweet ache of first love. Perfect for fans of Stranger Things, Gravity Falls, and The Summer Below, it is a story about courage, sisterhood, and the shadows that linger in even the brightest memories.
