READER RECOMMENDATION!!


House of Hollow

DARK FANTASY READER RECOMMENDATION!!

“…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..”

Tasha J: I finished reading House of Hollow by Krystal Sunderland and absolutely LOVED it!! So vastly different from another book I read and loved of hers, Our Chemical Hearts.

The writing was fantastic and descriptive. So gruesome, but fascinating. Mysterious and strange, and also emotional. You really felt that bond between sisters. Quick paced, edge of your seat in some parts. Awesome spooky season read. Original, to me, kind of story.
