The Dust Feast (Hollow Folk #3)
On the day of cross country tryouts, though, Vie finds one of the teachers dead—and Vie refuses to believe that the death was a suicide. As he searches for the killer, or killers, he discovers that a conspiracy exists in the small town of Vehpese: a conspiracy that might be older and deeper than Vie first suspects, a conspiracy of drugs and human trafficking that might also be tied, in some way Vie can’t quite understand, to his own abilities—and to the other psychic abilities in his town.
When the murderers turn their attention to Vie, though, he discovers that his powers might not be up to the task. He faces ghosts, ancient monsters, and even an evil substitute teacher, but unless he can confront his past, and the trauma that lies there, he might not manage to save the people he cares about.
He might not even survive himself.
I powered through this entire series, I am glad I picked It up. Although it was longer and I felt at times it could have been edited a little - it held my attention though the series, I was on the edge of my seat and had no idea what was going on, who to trust. Its a paranormal, a bit of mystery, coming of age, but more. The characters show a lot of depth, through the series I like the where they end up, the way the problems are handled IMO is done very well, much more true.
3.5? Nonetheless, Gregory Ashe writes wonderful descriptions, engaging characters, and well-crafted dialogue. On my watch list. I still think that the opening book of this series is amazing, and I plan to read Book #4 (one or more additional books seem likely).This one veered a bit too far into CW/MTV (Vampire Diaries/Teen Wolf) territory for me, and I'm not talking about the paranormal aspects, rather characters and plot points: angsty-teenage bad boy(s); slutty good girl; slutty bad girl; the
yeah ok this series has totally consumed me for the past three days - the last time this happened was with Foxhole Court.I said in my first review that this reminded me of FC and it still does: it is in the characters and their growth, it is in the not skirting the dark and real problems the MC is facing, it is in the difficult development of relationships that are more like pulling teeth than growing friendly. On the other hand the mistery, the thriller aspect reminded me of I Hunt Killers,
Strange things are afoot in Vehpese, Wyoming. And Vie Eliot might just be one of them. So, so much is revealed in The Dust Feast, book three in the Hollow Folk series, enough that I thought it was going to end in a trilogy, but just when I believed Gregory Ashe was going to wrap things upboom baby!he introduced something so mysterious and sinister that Im feasting on the anticipation of the next book in this stellar series. As it turns out, Mr. Big Emptyisnt Vies most formidable adversary.The
The calluses on Austins palms were familiar now. In at least one way, they were like my personal tally of scars: they were a sign of the places we had been, the things we had done, the people we had become.This one hurts. A lot. But because this book is brutally dark and full of angst, the sweet moments were much more tender and made me so damn happy. Ill say it again and again but I freaking love Vie.
this one was a struggle - I think thats a sign that I should give Vie a break...

I think maybe Im being too generous with 3/5. There are some good aspects of the book, and I cant deny the will they, wont they? Of Emmett and Vie has made me buy the next book (plus it was only £2..). The plot was ok- slow going- but ok. Not a lot happened until maybe 75% of the way through, and what did then happen felt really rushed. The writing. The sentence structure works really well, but Vies internal angst is written in too much detail, whilst the plot development and action has doI powered through this entire series, I am glad I picked It up.
