Basically, it’s like a mystery surrounding identity and Iris’s missing sister. There’s also magic involved. :)

Grey is something else… 😭🤚🏾

I was intrigued by this story all the way through. The author kept the tension high and the major reveal just out of reach for long enough to sustain interest. This was not what I was expecting - and not what I would normally read - but I enjoyed it.

I liked this one a lot! House of Hallow is a YA dark fantasy full of intrigue and mystery. It’s the story of three sisters who went missing as children and came back different. Now, ten years later, the eldest sister goes missing, and it’s up to the other two to use their supernatural connection and untapped powers to find their sister.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sutherland creates intrigue from the start, and the original premise is really just the tip of the iceberg. The writing is whimsical and suggestive of fairytales. In fact, this whole novel could be considered one dark, twisted fairytale. There are moments ripe with strong imagery and prose that feels unsettling in the subtlest of ways.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favorite things about this novel is it’s focus on the dangers of being a young girl in a predatory world. There are themes of sexual harassment and how girls learn at an early age how dangerous the world can be for them. There are also plenty of instances of these beautiful young women taking back that power and doing what we all wish we could do to predators. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s best to go into this one with as little knowledge as possible, so I won’t say more. But I enjoyed it a lot.

A dark, exciting, mysterious fairytale. There are some heavy themes and things certainly get intense, but I was really pleased by the way the story comes together...even when things get dark and sad.
