After that, Cindy recommended “House of Hollow” to Sara without an H (another booktuber), who seemed to have liked it. With Cindy (booktuber) raved about this book on her channel, and that’s how it landed on my radar.

House of Hollow wasn't for me, but do read some other reviews before deciding whether or not to read it yourself.~ Warning! Major Spoilers! Book Review: “House of Hollow” Krystal Sutherland (2021) ~.

There's all this build up that doesn't really lead to very much. The scariest aspects of the story happen off page, so we never actually see them.

The horror element was also really disappointing.

Most of my questions weren't answered, and I felt the build up should have led to something bigger than what we got.

But the big reveal was massively disappointing. I was intrigued by the mystery, though the what of the story was pretty obviously from fairly early on, so it was the why and the how that I was looking forward to.What happened to the Hollow sisters when they disappeared years ago? What's happened to Grey this time? And who is the strange man wearing the skull of bull that seems to be following Iris? House of Hollow is a mystery and a horror in one.While there's a sinister atmosphere and growing tension throughout, it fell quite flat for me in the end. I was actually quite disappointed with House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland.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. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. 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.

People find them disturbingly intoxicating, unbearably beautiful, and inexplicably dangerous.īut 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. They have insatiable appetites yet never gain weight. Then, their blue eyes slowly turned black. 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. Iris Hollow and her two older sisters are unquestionably strange.
