House of Hollow was a haunting, mysterious read that was both eerie and intriguing. It tells the story of Iris, Vivi, and Grey, three sisters who went missing when they were children and reappeared a month later, leaving no evidence as to where they had gone, what had happened to them, or who had taken them. Now, ten years later, the sisters have changed--their eyes are black, their hair is white, and they have strange abilities. Even stranger, the eldest sister, Grey, has gone missing again, and a sinister, otherworldly creature seems to be hunting the two that remain. This book was absolutely everything I expected and more, exactly what I needed to start off the spooky season. It was disturbing and mind-warping, with vibes similar to the movie Pan’s Labyrinth or Crimson Peak. The main characters were written perfectly, unsettling and captivating, and the writing was the same. I highly recommend this, especially if you need a supernatural or horror book to capture the witch-y vibes of October.
