She’s now left broken and on her own, leaving behind her life and family in Portland to focus on giving Dex Foray – and the Experiment in Terror show – a second chance.

HOLY FREAKING PERFECTION!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
OH.MY.GOD!! Karina Halle has completely and utterly blown me away. The emotion and angst in this book is out of control! And God, I loved it!!!!! But despite this intensity, it also retained the hilarity of the previous books, as well as some fantastic character development and heaps of swoon. Apologies in advance for my long and overly quotey review, but you’re just gonna have to bear with me here, because I cannot help but gush.

The most tragic, misunderstood character in this book:

After reading the first chapter I have a message for Perry: Fuck option number one, go with number two!! Ada (and Nina) knows best :P
And people wonder why I find Bigfoot terrifying...

Whoever said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder", was nuts. Absence makes the heart ACHE longer...and the Sept/Oct Nov release of Into the Hollow (Experiment in Terror #6) has never seemed so far away. But, rereading the series helps a little bit and knowing Perry and Dex get out of their cliffhanger situation (I'm trying not to do a spoiler here for ODW, but the synopsis kinda gives it away) helps. I know this next book will be another 5 star r...more

To say that I liked shocking development of storyline at the beginning of this book would be an understatement. I loved it.

“No matter what happened, he was Dex and I was Perry and that combination only led to trouble.”
Dex and Perry finally, albeit somewhat reluctantly for Perry...do SOMETHING smart in regards to their relationship. Though I think spoiling it would be cruel, so I won't. Hah!!! Let me just say that it could be the best thing ever for this wonderful couple who are so badly in need of each other. They do, they need each other SO. BAD. It's not even funny. No one else other than Dex can understand Perry...more
“And with madness comes the light”
“Within your light, I lose the madness.”

“I know it doesn’t matter to you anymore,” he went on gently. “But you’ve always been my light. When I’m with you, I lose this darkness, this madness around me. The madness inside me. But I had to go mad to realize that. I had to lose you to know it.”
Dex, Dex, Dex...where do I start? This is a new Dex or as Perry said Dex 2.0, a total swoonalicious, all man, super hot new version and I am in love with him!

6 stars. Of course.
Having just devoured this entire book in one evening, to say that I am feeling a wee bit shell shocked and emotional would be putting it rather mildly.


It is not a secret that I love this series. I have made quite the pest of myself by pimping it out to just about everyone I know. But, I can honestly say that with each book Karina Halle exceeds my expectations. Her talent as an author is just staggering to me. And I'm not just saying that as a gushing fangirl. I...more

I don't want to do spoilers, but can I just say…OMFG Dex....the tattoo....the emotions...creepy cabin….Sasquatch…ahhhh….

This book is an absolute treat for any Dex and Perry fan. Their chemistry is dead on. Things are changing fast for Perry…..new home, new powers and a concoction of crazy emotions. And Dex? He's in rare form!!! And Dex 2.0 is OMFG AMAZING....the passion, determination, quips, flirting, jokes...talk about SWOON. How can any woman resist? I could just read this over and over again...more

I completely adore this series and Karina Halle has easily pulled off another winner with Into the Hollow. Perry and Dex are two of the most relatable, real, fleshed-out characters I've come across, even in the freaky, crazy situations they find themselves in. And this book definitely had some freaky situations. Did I mention creepy? Cause there were some great skin-prickling moments - both the good kind and the bad kind. ;)

Nope you pervs (wink), no naked time... but we got Dex perving about Perry and interacting with children. Which was hilarious!!! (view spoiler)

Aww, this was so good!
Into the Hollow picks up right where On Demon Wings left off and begins with a tough decision for our gal Perry Palomino. A decision I was silently squeeing over going "SAY YES, YOU NUMPTY!" It also shows us a side to Mr. Declan Foray we've never really seen before since he's always been in a relationship in the past. I think I rather like the free and single version of Dex. Again, SQUEE!

Let me begin by saying... It was about time people! It only took them 6 books to finally get there!

So...
Perry decides that after her latest adventures, she can't stay with her parents anymore and since she doesn't have a lot of option she moves in to Seattle with none other but our beloved Dex.
In order to make some money she decides to return to the show. Their first job is in Canada. Of course it doesn't go quite as planned.

I always think I can't love Dex any more than I do. And then something like this comes out and I totally swoon over him all over again. He is just so...so DEX! He is like no other and that is what I love about him the most. And this scene especially reminds me of the softer side. And he would be a great father! Let's hope Perry realizes that too.

Karina is the shizz, she totally kicks ass. Dex cracks me up. The stuff that comes out of his mouth... god, I adore him (Twatwaffle, Fatty Rab, Kiddo... he gives the best nicknames). Plus, he is so HOT in this book. I love him being all buff and alpha... go Dex!

“Within your light, I lose the madness.”
I'm sort of at a loss for words here... I think that Into the Hollow is really the breaking point or starting point to what Dex and Perry will be. This is where our dynamic duo can either come to the realization that they're in love with each other or not. It's really that simple.
Hold on because this is an emotional ride. I found myself hating Perry in this book. I mean, what a change from the love I felt for her for 5 books... Then she...more
