What a dark and delightfully wild ride this was. I have to say from the jump I was pulled in by Krystal Sutherland's beautifully descriptive writing and the fantastically eerie tone of this book. The story of the Hollow sisters gripped me, twisted my heart around in my chest, and spat me out at the end feeling thoroughly run through. I found myself wishing it had been longer if only to stay caught up in the mystery of these sisters longer. It was tense, dark, and the secrets you uncover along the way left me in a moral quandary. I loved the characters, the dialogue, and the way Sutherland writes that made this world feel so vivid and tangible. 

There's not a lot to say about this book that wouldn't start to reveal the plot and I think that is better left unsaid. The spooky, mysterious vibes were immaculate and Iris Hollow is truly a ya protagonist that I could connect to despite the otherworldly oddity that is her life.
