Strange things have happened surrounding the Hollow sisters ever since they disappeared without a trace for a month when they were little. They used to have black hair and blue eyes like their parents; now their hair is white and their eyes are black. Iris has always known there was something off about her and her sisters, but could never put a word to it other than "strangeness." At 17 years old her eldest sister Grey goes missing, and from there she begins to unravel the mysteries surrounding what happened to them in the past.
It was on page 21-22 was when my mouth dropped open and I realized the sort of story I was dealing with here: a suspenseful fairytale tinged in horror with absolutely breathtaking writing. Sutherland's phenomenal storytelling hooked me in good and didn't let me go until I finished.
The only thing I'm not completely thrilled about is that it has an open-ended ending, which, on its own, is a weak ending. And aside from this one thing that it leaves open-ended, it doesn't feel like a book that needs a sequel... not that I wouldn't read a sequel in a heartbeat, though hahah. And now that I think about it... I would be delighted if there was a prequel from Grey's POV.
