Week 24 Review: House of Hollow

From Goodreads:
A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night.

Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange. Ever since they disappeared on a suburban street in Scotland as children only to return a month a later with no memory of what happened to them, odd, eerie occurrences seem to follow in their wake. And they're changing. First, their dark hair turned white. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.

But now, ten years later, seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow is doing all she can to fit in and graduate high school on time–something her two famously glamourous globe-trotting older sisters, Grey and Vivi, never managed to do. But when Grey goes missing without a trace, leaving behind bizarre clues as to what might have happened, Iris and Vivi are left to trace her last few days. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. As they brush against the supernatural they realize that the story they've been told about their past is unraveling and the world that returned them seemingly unharmed ten years ago, might just be calling them home. 

My Review:
Oh man, this book! It was creepy and amazing, and I just needed to know what was going to happen next! This story about these 3 sisters was so interesting, and I wanted to know what happened to them in the past-but also what was going on in the present, and how they were intertwined! 

Iris is mostly normal. Besides her changes in appearance after the trio's disappearance a decade ago, she's done the normal thing. Not her sisters, they've found fortune and fame. But things start unraveling quickly when Grey goes missing by herself this time.

This book deals directly with what happened when they were all disappeared 10 years ago, what happened to them. There were so many secrets and so many twists and turns, and it kept me on my toes, and I couldn't get enough! 

When we finally know everything, man, that was such a shocker! Yeah, some of it was easy enough to guess, but parts were very easy to get wrong. And this book was uniquely dark, and it was just utterly fantastic to read! 

Loved reading this book, and I'll have to check out Krystal Sutherland's other books
