This book was hauntingly beautiful in a way that made me want to read it again when I finished it to look for anything I had missed. I was very impressed with the vocabulary of the author and her ability to describe characters and setting as if we were stepping into the story.

to begin i would like to say, i’m unapologetically 100% team grey. the author’s attention to details and really setting the scene was a nice touch. this was my first YA since no longer being a young adult myself but i didn’t mind it! i was looking for a little bit of a more spooky vibe and a little bit more into the lore but as a whole this was a good book especially if you’re just beginning to get into this genre!

This is the type of book that if I had read it in my teen years would have consumed my life. It's dark, mysterious, and hugely atmospheric. Combining a forever loved concept of mine, the liminal, with dark fairytale features made for an exciting read.

The twists weren't too hard to see coming as someone with a lot of knowledge on writing rules and mythology who was looking for clues to the answers. But this didn't dissuade me from reading on.

i am at a Loss for words. holy shit the entire time i was reading this it felt like it swallowed me and chewed the fuck out of me then retched me out 1??2?2?2 so many parts disgusted me to my Very core because of how vivid all the descriptions were … it literally felt like i was Right There with the hollows and i was stuck in a nightmare (and let me tell u im not the best at visualizing things but the way krystal describes everything makes my skin crawl)

this is so good and insane and worth every single millisecond i feel like this will be tattooed in my mind for the next few weeks . the way everything tied up wasnt the most perfect but it still had my jaw on the floor So im gonna need at least 5 business days to pick my jaw back up

p.s. @ krystal sutherland i would read even ur grocery list
p.p.s. shoutout to u tyler yang ! ur one of the best parts of this story

I’m obsessed with this book. I was sucked in from the first page. I read this in two days. If you like dark twisted themes and gruesome imagery this book is for you.
