Hollow City (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #2)

This second novel begins in 1940, immediately after the first book ended. Having escaped Miss Peregrine's island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends must journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other unexpected surprises. Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly mesmerizing) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight readers of all ages.

Oh, RR, how could you leave me with that ending?!!!

In "Hollow City", we catch up with Miss P's peculiar kids. The story begins right where the last installment ended. In this book, we see the kids growing, their desire for self preservation expanding to saving the peculiar race and even the normals.

Some of the great stuff?
The time jumping. It is really interesting to read about the differences as they enter different temporal loops.
The love story grows. I am a sucker for a romance and we get to see the love between Jacob and Emma blossom.
Jacob comes into his power. Jacob is learning more and more about his peculiar powers and is proving to be quite the bad-ass.
More peculiar history. We learn a lot more about the world of peculiars, wights and hollows. It is quite a well crafted and interesting world too.
Action, action, action. There is a lot going on here as the kids constantly battle for survival in their attempts to save themselves and their race.

Uggghhhhhhh, book 3!!!! I need to know what happens to Miss P, Jacob, Emma and all my other friends.
