These first few chapters are intriguing and addictive. In Iris, Sutherland has created a character that one can feel a kinship with and concern for immediately. She gives just enough details about immediate events following the sisters' disappearance that you can't help but want to delve into that mystery. And I can't wait to witness Iris interacting with her sisters at the concert. And to see how she might invent herself upon graduation. Plus, who is the guy wearing the deer head in the forest? I *must* know more!
