Holden and Isabella are now happily married and living the dream, building a life and a home they only have one rule to follow they must never speak of past events lest their fairytale become a nightmare, they were warned repeatedly to leave the past in the past.
But an emotional Isabella manages to set in motion a chain of events that will test our lovers to there very limits and beyond: prepare yourself for the horrors ahead and part two of this very different Halloween tale.
Isabella love will be tested to the very limits of her endurance as she confronts the nightmare that has replaced her once loving and adoring husband.
in return, Holden will need to not only come to terms with his heinous actions towards the woman he once promised to love and protect but also fix the pieces of her shattered psyche he may just have broken beyond all repair.
This one does get rather dark despite the puppies and kittens start which lulls you into a false sense of security.
So when this does go postal it was quite a contrast to the initial story.
Don’t be too scared this does have a HEA and there is an end in sight but isabella and Holden will both be tested to there limits before this fact can be achieved.
All the best and most epic journeys require a sacrifice and boy do these two both give that especially Isabella herself.
Finally, I really loved the epilogue it was totally the cherry for me.
This was a riveting dark read that I enjoyed so much and I definitely recommend.
I suggest you read the two parts back to back for maximum enjoyment.
I voluntary reviewed a copy of Holden (The Hollow Duet Part 2)
Holden, and Isabella have been through enough terror, and now want to look forward and live a happy life. Trying to keep the secrets of the past and following the rules is beyond hard. All it took was one crossed rule and all h3ll broke loose on Isabella and the sleepy town. The consequences of breaking the rules is nothing but terror for Isabelle, but she is determined to take take pain and terror, for the love of Holden. Holden and Isabella are finally released from the pain and terror and it becomes such sweet love and passion, but the dark and dirty past will always be there to haunt them no doubts.

Holden is a swoony dream come true but also a monstrous nightmare.
There was only one rule and Isabella broke it and quickly the happily ever after her and Holden shared becomes a nightmare. Isabella is willing to face whatever evil lies ahead if it means there is a chance to get Holden back and the future they planned together. Holden can’t help becoming a monster with magic controlling things. Isabella gets help from Erica and the witches and is soon filled with hope.. but even if they both make it out of this alive Isabella might not ever be the same. Is the burden and pain really worth a possible happily ever after?..
Holden was a pretty quick read for me just like Hollow but I felt it really went into the story more which I loved. It gets dark and gory but of course we still get some erotic romance.

Wow! The ending you never saw coming to the classic Headless Horseman tale! This was dark and heartbreaking in spots. It was really good though, I read it in one sitting!

WOW….
So I’ll be over here in the corner rocking and crying myself to sleep. Holden is everything you’ve been warned about. So amazingly good and so dark. 5 stars for terrorizing the life out of me and showing me that true love can cut like an axe. It’s not often a sequel can hold up to the first book, but in this case I would say, as much as I love Hollow, Holden definitely exceeds it. Brilliant! Loved every chillingly delicious moment.

This book starts out so sweetly with Isabella and Holden living their happily ever after but circumstances change in a blink of an eye when the only rule that needs to be followed is broken. This is a chilling twisted version of a classic tale which sent shivers down my spine. I am not going to sugar coat it because it does get a bit rough but it was so riveting I could not look away from my kindle. Isabella and Holden do get a happy ending but with both characters being a bit more wise and appreciative of their chance of being together. I enjoyed reading this one!

Wth, did I just read? We all knew this was coming after having read Holden. The beast will emerge – but I was not expecting that. Super intense and heart-breaking and ultimately, will these two find a path to redemption? I was on pins and needles for the entire second half – total page turner. This is a tough super dark read with jaw-dropping horror elements. It’s supernatural, so I give these characters, Holden, in particular, a lot of leeway. And man, did he need it. Isabella is a great heroine and sacrifices so much. Holden, I love you man, but you did terrible, unforgivable things in this one. I love the witch element in the story and how sacrifices must be made for Isabella and her horseman. Must read Holden first or you’ll be a bit lost. A perfect Halloween duet.

Holden takes off after the events of Hollow. In Holden, he and Isabella are living the ultimate life, married and happy they could not have a better outcome. There is one thing that hangs over their heads, something they are never to speak of. If you are familiar with the human condition, asking someone to never do something is a guaranteed to get it done…
Accidently or not, Isabella changes their lives, possible forever and these two must not test not only their love, relationship, strength and bond, but test these as individuals as well. The darkness seeps in and the story takes a (delicious) horrible turn! If book one was light and heart, book two is darkness and pain. I LOVED the way the author decided to “upset” the status quo of book one and the beginning of book two. It really took me off course and kept me turning the pages. I felt the trials these two endured and I loved how that ultimately helped them as a couple.
I have never read such a wonderful take on this classic story and I highly recommend this duet to dark story readers. The author knows just how to keep the reader in the edge of their set, interested yet a bit uncomfortable. This does have a HEA so the reader at least knows that the pain will be worth it! You do have to read Hollow first to truly enjoy this story but it is completely worth it! I received an ARC and am leaving an honesty review.

I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntarily, honest review of it.
‘Holden’ is part two of a duet story and you really have to read ‘Hollow’ the first book before reading this one.
Let me start by saying… OMG, OMG, OMG!! What an emotional story this was!!! I never expected to love a Halloween story so much! Christmas stories => Yes! Halloween stories => No! But the writer DD Prince did the impossible and made me fall in love with a Halloween story.
So, after reading and enjoying ‘Hollow’, the first part of this Halloween duet story, I was confident that I knew what to expect from this second story but I was so wrong! ‘Holden’ took me totally by surprise!! It started very sweet (even so sweet that I doubted for a moment that I was reading the right story) but then it began, the darkness was unleashed and it was emotional hard to read (but don’t worry the story does have a sweet, happy ending). But the one thing that surprised me the most, was the soul deep love that you felt throughout the whole story. And that made the horror, dark part so emotional for me, because you knew from the sweet part, how much Isabella and Holden loved each other.
The story may not be a long one but it has all the elements of a long story in it. I loved Isabella and Holden, the main characters, very much. They had both a good heart and they tried so hard to do the right thing but sometimes fate just have other plans for you. It was great to see and learn more about the witches in this story and their magic. I’m already hoping that the writer decides to give them a story too someday in the future.
For the readers who have read and loved this writer’s dark books, you are in for a treat with this Halloween story. For the readers who are new to this writer but are looking for a dark, sensual Halloween romance story, give the Hollow duet a try.
