Hollow: A love like a life

 

The book we shall be reviewing today is 'Hollow: A love like a life' penned by Jazalyn. 


Jazalyn is also known for her works like vViIrRuUsS: I Never Forget and Rose: Future heart. She has a unique writing style where she narrates a story through her beautifully written poems, combining prose and poetry, different forms of literature.


 

Hollow: A love like life is a paranormal fantasy read. It explores the various shades of love, such as forbidden love, obsessive love, and different kinds of relationships like long distance and toxic relationships, and so on. 






The book has narrated the story of a spirit of the dark realm falling in love with a spirit of a light realm, where they can't meet, but they find a way to communicate through a secret language. 


One of my favourite poems in the book is: 


The times are peculiar-

 Maybe you’re not in the mood for this

 But I’m always in the mood

 Of escaping from reality

 And I find the courage

 In loving you

 With my different love

 You said you love the physical

 But I know you’re more than that-

 Deep down inside everyone loves it-

 Even me-

 But I haven’t lived it-

 I can’t-

 No one was enough for me

 And now that I loved you

 I can’t see past you

 I want to wait forever

 To live with you what I couldn’t

 No matter the circumstance

 Hoping you’ll be willing

 To heal any pain

 And any triumph

 We meet in the spiritual

I admire your enlightened state-

 That’s why I love you

 And why I want to be close to you

 But even if it’s the only thing I want most

 I don’t know how to approach you-

 I hesitate

 Because we’re still on a fictional stage

 I feel such a spiritual connection

 That I would not pretend in front of you-

 I would not be able to hide my feelings

 If we were alone

 And I’d want to sense you

 Even without touch

 As long as you’d want it too

 And even if it seems impossible

 Right now

 At least know

 That you’re the only one

 I dream of


If you are in for something unique, but also deep and emotional, this is your pick.

Discovering the Magic of Unfixed: A Conversation with Amy L. Sauder

  Interview with Amy L. Sauder: Author of Enchantment, Mystery, and Psychological Depth We had the pleasure of speaking with Amy L. Sauder , an author who seamlessly blends the realms of fantasy and mystery. With a unique storytelling style, Amy explores enchanting circumstances intertwined with psychological depth and intrigue. About Amy L. Sauder What inspired you to write in both the fantasy and mystery thriller genres? “I don’t so much pick a genre as have a story that grabs me. I primarily write about enchanting circumstances within everyday life. Secrets, mysteries, and what lies within us all form their own enchantment to uncover. I find inspiration from dreams, stories—books, shows—art, and the magic in everyday life.” When developing your stories, do you usually start with the characters or the plot? “I love plot twists and have them in mind from the start.
