House of Hollow is absolutely enchanting and it feels like reading a modern day, dark fairytale.  One annoyance is how Grey's bf (can't remember his name), is so annoying, and yet the book expects us to be really sad at

his death.  Granted, being flayed is a horribly unpleasant way to go, and he was nicer to Iris at the end, but still

.  Other than that, this book is a great read.

It is definitely not my usual read. Check the trigger warning (I didn’t !!). But I liked it. The end got me hooked. I am left without word, it was so dark.

I actually enjoyed what I did read, I'm just not feeling it right now. I think I might pick this book up again in autumn and closer to Halloween when the creepiness feels right. 
.
.
.
UPDATE: So, I finished it and I really enjoyed it. It was a perfect mix of creepiness, horrifying and mysterious. With snippets of magic and folklore woven in.
I loved that at the center of this book was sisterly love. 
Also the plot twist at the end for who the villain was all along was brilliant. I loved that reveal. I really liked how this story was told and how it ended. But a part of me wants either a sequel or a short story about Vivi and Iris's next trip into the Halfway

to see if Tyler is still there and what Iris thinks she missed when they were last there.

I would 100% recommend reading this book if you like dark, creepy and imaginative stories.
