I didn't expect this book to be as creepy as it is. The first night I was reading it, I finally set it down when I could barely keep my eyes open anymore. Yet when I turned off the light, I was afraid to close my eyes. I kept peering into the darkness as I thought about a particularly scary scene from the book.When I read the description for this book, I was delighted. I love vampire books, and I've always had a fascination with the Amish. To see a story that combined them was unexpected and fun. What I didn't anticipate was the horror in this book. It's been a long time since I've read about scary vampires. I've gotten used to them being sexy even if they are evil. There are none of those here. These are monsters that make you fear not just the dark but even the shadows.The isolation of the setting adds to the creeping horror. It's pressing in on them from outside, and it's only a matter of time before it breaches their tenuous safety. I would recommend this to any horror fan. There are some truly gruesome and terrifying scenes.It's also a story about a restless teen girl whose world is imploding. She is so close to freedom that she can taste it, and then it's snatched away from her because of some unknown threat. At first she is more upset about this than anything else, because it was something that she had been looking forward to for years. She has always been a bit of a rebel, and she secretly breaks the rules to help an injured stranger.She is right at the age when teenagers question authority and forge their own identities. She grows apart from her childhood sweetheart and forms a bond with the guy she rescued. I understood why she made the choices she did, because she didn't have time to wait. I didn't read this as love so much as grasping for some of the adventure that she had been denied. The romance was her escape from the frightening reality of her life and her disappointment in the boyfriend who had suddenly changed.I really liked the main character, Katie. She is compassionate, impulsive, brave, and foolish. It was refreshing to read about a teen girl who is neither jaded nor painfully self-conscious. She has her teenage angst and jealousy, but she also has an inner strength that carries her through very rough times. She had a loving, supportive family, all of whom I also liked. Ginger was an important link to what was going on in the outside world, and it really added to the sense of doom when that link was severed. Her despair became part of the atmosphere of dread. The story had excellent pacing and build up to the climax.Alex wasn't the most exciting love interest, but his injury and the necessity for him to remain hidden limited what he could do. He was a nice guy, though, and I liked how their love scene was written. One of the best things about this book is that Katie truly got to be the lead. She was the one who was in the thick of all the action. Alex even made a Buffy the Vampire Slayer joke, which I appreciated. She doesn't have any powers, though, and has to rely on the protection of a holy man even as she wavers in her faith. He was one of my favorite characters, because he is the salt of the earth kind of person who just does what needs to be done and doesn't abide any nonsense.This is an excellent book if you can handle the creepy parts.
Creepy! I was not expecting to be wigged out with this book. That does not happen very often. Especially for a 'young adult' book!Kate is a young Amish woman who was ready to branch out and see the world with her friend Elijah. She is so very excited for her Rumspringa and dreams of going to the movies, fun clothes, etc. But the world is rapidly changing in ways no one expected. When a couple of young men don't return home one night, the community begins to learn of something very...wrong and bloody. Fearful of what is happening the Amish community closes their gates to the outside world in self preservation. After saving and hiding a young man, Alex, Katie has broken the Elders ruling. She is determined to learn the truth. But it comes with some high risks.Kate learns that what is happening is that people are turning into 'vampires.' These are very different from vampires I am used to. And with how they operate and do rapid town turning, it reminds me of zombies. So in my mind they are a scary hybrid.The story is fast paced and wonderful. It doesn't let go for an instant! The connecting toward Kate is strong and easy to step into her shoes and experience all the terrors she goes through. And to think, this is the beginning! The is a sequel to go read next!Read this at night, alone. If you can do that and are not spooked. A harden horror fan might not be granted but I have always enjoyed a good scare and that is so hard to find in books. This is decent there. And being a young adult novel, more appropriate. If you scare easy, read during the day, when someone else is home. Regardless, read this!
THE HALLOWED ONES by Laura Bickle is one of the most gripping, shiver-inducing vampire books I've basically ever read. It's a pretty impressive YA debut, friends, because it was pretty much unputdownable from start to finish, and it has two REALLY excellent things going for it: One, an inside view of Amish communities that I found completely fascinating and refreshing, and two, a downright horrifying take on vampires that was literally terrifying. There is nothing-NOTHING-romantic or swoony or inhumanly beautiful about the vampires in THE HALLOWED ONES, and quite frankly, I'd take these vamps over any others any day.So I feel like I need to start out talking about Katie, who is a really wonderful main character. We get a really great glimpse of her life in the Amish community, and how she bristles against some of the rules and expectations of her family and the elders. Amish girls are supposed to follow rules and do things that they're told and not question anything. Katie has a bit of a reputation for doing the opposite, and that means that she is both easy to understand and root for, and a lightening rod for drama, not the least of which comes from the boy she takes in and houses in her family's barn against the rules and wishes of the bishop, who has decreed that, to stay safe, no one can come in or go out of their community. I really enjoyed her lots, and she adds a really great human element to THE HALLOWED ONES that ups the danger and fear like WHOA.As awesome as Katie is-and she IS awesome-the real standouts to me in Laura Bickle's book are the atmosphere, the vampires, and Amish. The first couple chapters of THE HALLOWED ONES completely gripped me with the creeps. See, the Amish live in a community that is basically sequestered from the rest of the world. They have no news, no phones, no TVs-no way of knowing that things on the outside are going to pot because there's basically a vampire-pocalypse going on. What they DO know is that all of a sudden, Katie and her neighbors stop seeing cars on the road behind their community, some of their number who went into the nearest town to work at the furniture shop haven't come home, and . CHILLS, I'm telling you. Like, real ones. When we do see the vampires, they are focused on one thing: SUCKING ALL THE HUMANS DRY. They have no humanity. They have no compassion or warm hearts or gorgeous, sparkly skin. They are only hungry, and evil.The way that the Amish react to the vampires in THE HALLOWED ONES gives us an incredibly fascinating look into Katie's Amish community, to their daily life, their beliefs, their language, the way they deal with the things they lack that the outside world has, like phones and convenience stores. They have these really old-school superstitions about things that I found completely fantastic. But, they also have a very old-school mentality of their way is the right way and they won't change for anything. The bishop and some of the elders in Katie's community create lots of drama and jeopardy because of the things they refuse to believe, and because of the tenets they hold on to when situations might be better served by something else. It's all really top-notch work from Laura Bickle.I also LOVED the whole idea of the Hexenmeister, too, who's basically the community's old sort of warlocky person. Or, well, more like folklore master who is the keeper of the oldest stories and superstitions. He's AWESOME.If there was a weakness in THE HALLOWED ONES, I'd say that it's maybe the relationship between Katie and the outsider boy she hides in the barn, Alex. Not that it's bad, because it's pretty fraught for lots of reasons, but to me the things that made the most impact on me were the vampires, the Amish themselves, and Katie. Alex and his relationship with Katie is important to her story, but she was about lots more to me. Which is awesome.I am BEYOND stoked that there will be more books about Katie and the vampire-pocalypse, friends, because Laura Bickle's THE HALLOWED ONES was scary, intense, atmospheric, and thought-provoking, and it provided a window into a community that I don't know very well but am completely intrigued by. Vampires + Amish = OUTSTANDING, and I'm ready for more.
