Depuis l’annonce du PAC et toute l’effervescence autour d’Halloween, j’avais envie d’une lecture bien sombre. Ce livre patientait depuis un moment dans ma PAL, c’était donc l’occasion parfaite de le sortir… et je ne regrette pas : il est idéal pour la saison ! 🍂
Nous suivons Iris, la plus jeune des sœurs Hollow. Enfants, elles ont mystérieusement disparu pendant un mois avant de réapparaître comme si de rien n’était. Depuis, une aura étrange les entoure… jusqu’au jour où Grey, l’aînée, disparaît à nouveau. Iris et sa sœur Vivi partent alors à sa recherche, quitte à faire ressurgir un passé bien plus sombre qu’elles ne l’imaginaient.
L’histoire est bien construite et l’ambiance glauque est parfaitement maîtrisée. Plus on avance, plus on ressent ce malaise voulu par l’autrice, et ça fonctionne vraiment bien. J’ai tout de même enlevé une étoile, car la relation entre Iris et Grey m’a mise très mal à l’aise , je n’ai jamais réussi à la trouver crédible autrement que malsaine, malgré ce qu’on a pu me dire. Autre point qui m’a frustrée : la fin, beaucoup trop ouverte à mon goût, surtout pour un one shot.
Côté personnages, j’ai bien aimé Tyler, même s’il reste très cliché dans son rôle de beau gosse mystérieux. J’aurais adoré qu’il soit davantage développé !
En résumé, malgré quelques bémols, j’ai passé un très bon moment. C’est une lecture parfaite pour l’automne si vous aimez les atmosphères sombres, étranges et légèrement dérangeantes 👻.

This was phenomenal!
5 Hollow stars!
I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting but it wasn't this. This book blew my mind, so dark and twisted, I loved it!
I'm not even sure what he genre this would fall under, mystery, magical realism, thriller, horror, fantasy?! Who the hell knows?
Once upon a time, three little girls disappeared. Once upon a time, three little girls came back.
Once upon a time, three little girls became three beautiful monsters.
I implore you to read this book, you won't regret it!

I am in awe at this book! This is something I didn't expect it to be, a murder mystery? yes! Mystery and myths? No! I was pleasantly surprised by it as it's not the usual book I read
The story of three sisters who went missing and turned up randomly for only the oldest to go missing again! So many twists and turns and it keeps pulling you in!
It's an emotional rollercoaster but so beautifully written
