Summary
Teen prodigy Carol has always known she was different from the other kids, but when her talents turn supernatural; her life takes a disastrous turn.
Despite her over achievements, Carol struggles with a neurosis she calls "The Hollow". Though she believes the hollow is her private cross to bear, there is a sneaking suspicion that she is being watched, studied from the shadows.
Fear sends her fleeing from her childhood home, leaving behind her one true love, Matthew. Running is only a distraction. The hollow continues to grow, and with it comes supernatural abilities, and dangerous, uncontrollable impulses to use them. The ensuing bloodshed sends her running back to Matthew.
There is someone watching Carol, having her followed, recording all her actions, her words, her abilities. Mr. Fredericks hungers for Carol's powers and will stop at nothing to get them.
Unbearable truth emerges; Carol discovers she has been an experiment from birth. She must gain control of the hollow before the doorways to darker paths open. It's time for Carol to rise above her fears and reclaim her life once and for all.

Just wasn’t for me. :(
Unfortunately I just couldn’t finish this book.
I don’t feel the author or narrator did anything especially wrong; I just feel the target audience is just a fair bit younger than me which isn’t clear in the audio sample or description.
I honestly think a YA audience would really enjoy this book and I feel bad I wasn’t able to give it a higher review. :(
The book seems well written and the narrator does a reasonable job, but the lack of distinction between the different character voices left me feeling disinterested and the audible clicking of the mouse left me feeling frustrated. I think it’s faults were exaggerated by the knowledge it’s part of a trilogy which made it harder for me to justify completion after giving it nearly 3 hours.

YA Paranormal Romance
This was a very sweet YA paranormal romance, with a dark twist. Teen prodigy Carol loves Matthew, has always loved him, he is her anchor, she knows in the way she knows a lot of things, the way she 'feels' things, sne doesn't know how, she calls it the 'hollow'. Carol finds out she's been betrayed by her parents, she's in danger and being watched. I found mr. Fredericks to be a dark and twisted character, he gave me the chills the lengths he was willing to go to any lengths to get what he wants, Carol's power. I really enjoyed the romance between Carol and Matthew, it was so sweet, he was her rock. I feel that the book didn't keep the same pace, that it lost momentum, but I still enjoyed it, the narrator Anna Grace Conover had a nice voice, very pleasant to listen to.

All in her mind
The premise of this book initially seemed similar to the movie Lucy, but the main character (Carol) was somewhat younger (mid teens) with a different set of issues as her powers expanded.
There was something about the pacing of the book that meant that it didn't grab me as much as it could have done, it ramped up nicely at the start but then sort of plateaued rather than peaking at the conclusion.
I found the performance of the narrator served to enhance the book, her voice was pleasant for the main character and sufficiently distinctive for the rest of the case that they were all readily recognisable from each other.
Overall, this was a good book that is well worth a listen if the basic premise seems like it would appeal to you.

A good listen
I did enjoy this book although I found it a little long winded at times.
