This was gripping, and despite the fact that I could quickly feel horror creeping over and sinking into my limbs from the first chapter, I could not set it down. The addictive tale follows three sisters, once missing but since returned... that is until the eldest sister, Grey, goes missing once more. What follows is an eerie, fairytale-esque journey to uncover what happened to Grey as circumstances relate to what happened to the sisters in their childhood. Overall, the story’s tone, paired with masterful writing, is sure to captivate readers—hooking them and keeping them reading despite the trepidation of what inevitably is sure to come. Basically, I’m sure I’ll be having nightmares for weeks after reading this one. If you’re a fan of eerie, fairytale horror, this one is definitely for you (though perhaps not so close to bedtime).

Wow! This is most certainly a read in one sitting book! I could not put it down because of all the twists and turns in this gorgeously creepy fairytale! Grey, Vivi, and Iris are absolutely mesmerizing and mysterious, even when I know they are only characters in a story. I think they portray very faelike powers (though it ends up being quite a bit darker than that). There is so much action in this story, from the disappearance of Grey and the search for her (and meeting Tyler who is also cool!) to being on the run from a mysterious character. So many unanswered questions for most of the book though they are answered by the end. Creepy flowers and the secrets of Grey and traveling to even more creepy and haunting places. And the cover is absolutely perfect and gorgeous and matches the Hollow sisters! Their last name is really fitting too and gives the title nice alliteration. I most definitely recommend this book!

When I first read the book blurb and saw the cover, I was immediately drawn to the book, but upon reading the very first few paragraphs of the prologue, I had to stop myself in amazement. Is this book real? I was so hooked already, I had to keep on reading. The story was so intriguing and mysterious and had me gripped, aching to read more of the story. The writing is beautiful and instantly draws you in as a reader, causing you to ponder and wonder about the mystery of the girls' past, what the cause of their "strangeness" is, and what happened to their missing sister. This book will keep you guessing from the start and had some twists and turns I never could have anticipated. This is such a unique book and definitely one to look out for-it's so well written and spooky in all the right places. 5/5 stars and a definite recommendation!
