Publisher's summary

The third and final installment of the Hollow's Row series.

Halen:

I’ve created a monster.

When past and present collide, the fallout feels like the death of my morality. Every time I look into Kallum’s clashing, feverish eyes, I see a dark omen—the threat of what we’ll do to each other if our desires run wild.

While the Hollow’s Row case comes to a head, a new heinous player enters the scene. As the Alchemist threatens the town, I’m torn between a promise to help my friend, and my loyalty to Kallum—the man who has sacrificed everything for me.

I’ve created a monster—but he’s my monster. And if I can’t control Kallum’s chaotic nature, I’ll lose him…just as I’ve lost everyone I’ve loved.

There could be a future for us, but only if we don’t damn ourselves first.

Kallum:

The moment Halen St. James crashed my world, I made a vow to harbor her darkness, the lovely spark who ignited my black soul. But now, it’s time for Halen to finally step out of her shadows.

I would do—and have done—anything to keep her mine. I’ve become a villain to protect her. Even from herself.

When she looks into my eyes with recognition, I’m a man reborn, redeemed by her cleansing fire. Only there’s a vital piece of our story missing, and without it, I’ll always fear losing her—a primal fear that provokes the demon within.

The truth lies somewhere in the murky marsh waters, where killers and philosophers entwine, obscuring ancient wisdoms and feasting on the sweetest nectar.

I was created for her, to devour her heartbreak, and she was designed for me, the muse to the devil himself.

No words!!!

This series ripped me open and made me feel every single emotion! My words will not do this series justice. Trying to put into words all the ways Callum and Halen’s story gripped me would be a disservice. There are just no words! Do prepare yourself for the most delicious book hangover, ever!! Trisha Wolfe you are amazing… thank you for this amazing series!

GREAT Series!

Absolutely loved this series. Loved the psychology and philosophy intwined with the mystery, psychological thriller and dark romance. Great ending to the series. Lucy Rivers was the perfect narrator for Halen and her performance was amazing.

On the negative side was the narration of Kallum specifically in this book. I thought Joe Arden’s portrayal of Kallum in books 1 and 2 was great but in this book it was way too much. I started to get really annoyed with listening to him in some of the more intense scenes. I actually found myself rolling my eyes. Kallum is much more dark and intense than was portrayed in this book. He came across as creepy and completely unhinged as well as whiny. It just wasn’t consistent with the Kallum in the first two books.

With that said, I would still definitely recommend this series!

Beautiful Dark AcadamianbLove Story

The final book to an amazing trilogy of books that had me hooked. So well written and juicy.

Get me guessing!

This was such a great story! I fell in love with these characters! The author did an amazing job of making the reader fall in love with the bad guy. This story was deep and dark, it draws you in, I became as obsessed with the story as the main character with his muse! It was so good, I desperately want more of Dr. St James and the Professor!!

must listen

this book was the better of the three. the performance was Excellent! Loved the twists.

chaper 12!!

Perfect ending to a series!!!!!!

Teisha Wolfe has done it again! This was the perfect ending to Kallum and Halen's story. By far one of my favorite series to date! Book 3 was in the Hollow Row series brought everything to a close better than I could have imagined. The twists and turns will keep you on your toes and the plot was 👨‍🍳💋. The narration was amazing and brought thewlis story to life! Its next level perfection. I hate that it's over. I wish there would be more to come!! I can't give this series enough ⭐s!! You won't regret listening to this audiobook series! ❤❤❤

WOW, Incredible book and performance!

This is book 3 and the conclusion to the Hollows Row Series. These books are meant to be read in order and I suggest this as well. This series discusses adult topics so I recommend reading for adults only.

****Audiobook Review****

I listened to this book via audio and I could not be more glad that I did. The conclusion to this series performed by Lucy Rivers and Joe Arden was breathtakingly dark and disturbingly beautiful at the same time. I know their performance made this story. Due to the complexity and all of the philosophy references, the audio book is the way to go, at least for me. The actors performances made this book and series. The conclusion was everything I needed this book to be. The romance and obsession that Callum has for Halen just made sense in the way the story was told. The twists and turns and absolute shocking revelations all come to ahead int his conclusion. The epilogue was amazing and the POV from Callum view on seeing Halen and their chance meeting was so important to the story. This is a very dark series about a relationship that is not of the nom. We have serial unalivers and occult references throughout. The darkest parts of the story balanced out the romance and I truly loved it so much. I have never enjoyed the aspect of philosophy and these books are filled with all of the references. But they are very relevant to this book and story. Trisha Wolfe wrote an amazing series and if you love a fantastic audio performance this book is for you.

the pure beautful darkness

I loved the philosophy of of the God of Madness and Wine, Dionysius. Enthralled with the theory of Dualogy. The melancholy ans violence of their pure love and violence. I thought the narration was amazing and so theatrical. I felt like I watched a gothic novel in my head! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An okay ending.

About six chapters in and I had to take a look at some of the early reviews to see if it was just me and it appears everyone was having the same issue. It's a little too wordy. Mind you, this trilogy is centered around philosophy, so the verbal inflation was expected. It just seemed better balanced in the first two books.

It was frustrating in this book. I was back to listening on audible because I listened at work and couldn't follow along in ebook. I'm not sure if it would have helped. I kept having to rewind because the words in between dialogue were so inflamed I couldn't keep track of what the characters were on about. Six and a half pages explaining an orgasm? That's beyond too much. I barely stayed in the plot because there was so much focus on saying things 'smart' instead of just spitting it out.

I love descriptors, I love detail, but it got to the point it was like the episode of Friends when Joey learned how to use the thesaurus. I was reading for the conclusion to be so grand and I was let down. I'm going to try the Madly duet and go from there. I enoyed this trilogy overall and will absolutely buy hardcopies, I just don't feel that the third book was as interesting.
