Hollow Kingdom

Hollow Kingdom


by Kira Jane Buxton


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


I don’t Usually stray from reading romance, but when I do I feel like I go pretty far! Kira Jane Buxton’s vision of a post apocalypse future really shook me.


In this anti future, the human race is stuck down by a cancer-line disease that’s turning them into blood hungry monsters in need of a tech fix! Left to their own devises, nature, the animals and plants gang together to survive in this new world without people.


This adventure is told from the point of view of ST, short for Shirt Turd, a plucky, wise cracking domestic crow that identifies more as a person than crow. He is assisting by his speechless companion Dennis the family bloodhound as they go about their mission trying to rescue the other domestics that have been loved indoors after their owners perished.


This story made me laugh (ST’s sarcasm is awesome), think and cry. I haven’t read a book that made me appreciate the human condition so much. If you’re interested in a fun and thought provoking look at humanity, these animals deliver!


I’m excited for the follow up, Feral Creatures being released later this month!



Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton was originally released in August, 2019.



Thanks so much to Grand Central Publishing for gifting me with my review copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Ellie-May is no stranger to public scorn, as the daughter of an outlaw , she knows what the Rangers accusations against her deceased husband will do to her family and children. For the sake of her family, she will do anything to protect them and that includes keeping secrets and resisting the Rangers charms!  This was fun story. I loved how the romance also included the children because as a mother myself (happily married) I could never imagine being able to separate my love life from that of my family life. A new partner would definitely need to win over the kids along with me!  ...

by   May McGoldrick Where do I start! I’m not sure I actually read the synopsis of this book before starting, I jumped at the chance to read it after all the hype for the first book (Highland Crown).
