Hollow

From TikTok sensation Celina Myers comes a fresh, intriguing novel about a woman who finds her destiny and her family after being turned into a vampire.

Mia Adair isn't even twenty-five yet, but she's starting to wonder if her peak has already passed. She's spent years working at her local bookstore, a job that was supposed to be temporary. As a kid, she experienced a strange sort of fame within the paranormal community thanks to her inclusion in a book that revealed Mia's ability to talk with the dead. But that was then, and Mia's "gift" dried up once adolescence set in. These days, she feels like she's nobody special.

Until she dies in a tragic car crash and reawakens as a vampire...

Forced to leave behind everything she knew, Mia must choose to live with one of two rival vampire families. The Bellamy and Sutton clans share a dark, complicated history that spans centuries. As Mia learns about their age-old traditions and extraordinary powers, along with their forbidden romances and betrayals, she's drawn toward two very different loves. And as she feels her gift returning, more potent than ever before, Mia realizes she'll need it to protect innocent lives--and save the only family she has left.

Celina Myers, known to millions online as Celina Spooky Boo, is celebrated for her fast-paced storytelling and vivid imagery. A master of weaving horror into worlds that feel hauntingly real, Celina creates stories that linger in the shadows of everyday life. Writing is her greatest passion, and she thrives on crafting tales that blur the line between the ordinary and the extraordinary. Whether through her humor, spooky tales, or writing, Celina's mission is to enchant and entertain her ever-growing fanbase.

C. L. Herman is the New York Times, USA Today, and national indie bestselling author of atmospheric, magical novels, including the All of Us Villains duology (with Amanda Foody), The Devouring Gray duology, and The Drowning Summer. Their work has received critical and commercial acclaim and has been translated into over ten languages. Their latest co-written project, A Fate So Cold, released in fall 2025.

They currently reside in the Boston area with their partner and cat.
