I chose this book because I thought it sounded good the way they described it. I also liked it because I like like dark and mystery books.
Well first of all you would understand the book more if you lead up in the series but I didn't read the rest of the series.The book starts out with a girl named Annah and a boy named Catcher trying to find Annah's "brother" and sister. They will keep going and never give up.They try to survive the dark city with horde of unconsecrated coming in.So to find her "brother" and sister they have to go to a place called the Sanctuary. So they go all around town but then the horde comes in so they go in to the dark scary tunnels and travel all day and all night. Then after a few days they get out a go to this one place and they see Elias and some men standing behind him.
All characters are like in the tween- teen stage
-Annah:She has dirty blond hair and scars all over her face and is the Biggest character in the book. She is a girl that follows what she started and never gives up.
Then the people behind Elias take them to a wall with a boat behind it to take them to the Sanctuary island across the frozen lake Then they get to the island with a bunch of people called recruiters on it. The thing is,is that Elias is one of them. The problem is they are using Annah, Gabry, and Elias to get Catcher to work for them. So Annah and Gabry are trying to find a way off the island. You will have to read the book to find out if they find their way off or not.
-Elias:He is a boy that has short black hair and lots of tattoos and has a little beard and mustache. He plays a character who acts like a brother but is not he is actually a friend. His personality is very nice and he will always take the blame.
-Catcher: He is a really nice boy that will try to help out with anything. He has dark hair and a bunch of scratches on his face. In the book he plays a character that helps Annah find her "brother" and sister.
-Gabry:She has dark hair and wears a lot of makeup. She is one of the main reasons for the action in this book. She is very nice and willing to take the blame if she has too.
My Rating
There is no main setting it is basically all in one small town that they call ," The Dark City." It is described as dark with tall buildings, small houses and has dark and hollow tunnels underneath.There is one quote about what it used to be like and here it is: "This city used to be something once. |I've seen pictures of the way it gleamed- sun so bright off windows it could burn your eyes. At night, lights shouted from steel like cat calls, loud and lewd, while all day long white- gloved men rushed to open doors for woman who tottered about on sky-scraper heels." Then one day something came and turned it all upside down. It became dark, scary, uncomfortable, and not safe.
My rating is 4.8 out of 5 because it gets boring at some spots and they just keep talking about the same thing just in different words. This book gets more interesting as it goes on. This book I would recommend to anyone who loves dark and dangerous stories.

2.She always says to herself, "I should know better than anyone that this life isn't about feelings; it's about making it through alive." (pg. 89)
3.Catcher says to Annah, " If there is anything I know about fighters like you, it's that you won't give up." (pg. 122)

The Dark and Hollow Places is mostly based on the time that Annah and Elias left her sister, Abigail, in the woods.They didn't know till later in time that her mom, Mary, found her in the woods and Abigail didn't remember anything so her mom, Mary, named her Gabry.
