À propos de cet audio
A New York Times Best Seller!
An Instant Indie Best Seller!
A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night.
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, 10 years later, 17-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. 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. They aren't the only ones looking for her though. 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 10 years ago, might just be calling them home.

“Sutherland keeps this haunting, contemporary fairy tale poised on the edge of gorgeous and gruesome, with visceral descriptions of sensual yet menacing magic hidden in the everyday. . . Hand this to your Nova Ren Suma and Melissa Albert fans.” —Booklist, starred review
“This is slow-burn horror with imagery steeped in the senses . . . and Sutherland maximizes tension by playing into familiar tropes and then tearing away from them . . . The ending manages to be both horrific and heartbreaking . . . [with a] lingering chill.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, starred review
“Smart and assured narration easily carries a fast-paced story entwining themes of grief and loss with elements of folklore and some very inventive body horror. The pervasive feeling of dread builds to a shocking twist. A lush and darkly twisted modern fairy tale.” —Kirkus Reviews

Iris and her two sisters were victims of a kidnapping and came back changed—not just emotionally and mentally but physically as well. When their eldest sister goes missing again, Iris and her sister must delve into their past experience to uncover the dark truth about what happened to them.
Iris is strong because of her heart. I was instantly drawn to her compassion and desire to protect her sisters. She is a great parallel to her wilder elder siblings, yet the three of them form an unbreakable duo. I loved their dynamic and their complicated relationship with their mother, Kate. This truly is a strong story with character growth at the core.
The plot moves at a good pace and does not hold back on the tension and danger. The Hollow sisters are in dire danger and if they are not careful, they are in for truly gruesome ends. The mythology and world building isn't what one would call grand in scope, but it is just magical enough that I felt immersed in this grotesquely beautiful world.
I love creepy fairy tales and this was one of the best a reader could ask for. A fantastic story for Halloween/spooky season, I am so glad I gave this standalone a chance and highly recommend it.
Spectacularly Spooky
