A modern horror story. Sutherland’s writing is reminiscent to Edgar Allan Poe’s, her dark storytelling of the three Hollow sisters has both beautiful and grotesque imagery. The story flows well and keeps you wanting to know more. I would consider this a modern paranormal and horror mystery. 

Worth checking out if you enjoy Poe’s work, Stephen King, or your looking for a stand-alone that’s around 300 pages that will keep you on your toes. 

3.85 rounded to 4🌟 personally i love dark descriptive and almost poetic imagery, so i enjoyed it.

3.0

This book was SLOW. I definitely struggled to get through this at times, yet the story itself always made me pick it back up. I knew the ending would be worth it, and it was. I must add that there were an abundance of editing errors that should not have made it into the final print of the book.
