A review by spriteluver
House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

very meh. lots of weird ideals in this book. yes, we get it, these girls are the embodiment of beauty--aka pale and skinny. "the type of skinny where they can eat all day and not gain a bit of weight" is a trope i did not see coming, but here we are.
 
too many pop culture references at the beginning, there's literally like 6 references in a single chapter i think (sims 4, harry potter.....more that i dont care to remember).

too many teenagers kissing adults in this book, honestly! makes me wildly uncomfortable. there's a case where you're supposed to be uncomfortable, rightfully so, but the rest are just.... ???? also, the way these sisters describe each other verges on something very.... ???? too many references to lovers & sisters... not scary, just gross. never felt action packed. i read this all in one day just to get it over with. on to better things !
