The story was written and woven so beautifully, it was hard for me to stop flipping to the next pages despite the growing fears as everything started growing darker. I don't think I would be able to stomach it if I were a Hollow sister too. I still shiver whenever I think of how white carrion flowers would bloom in their wounds and blood. Not only they were chased by something inhuman, they had to deal with a bloody corpse and were thrown into doors that lead to the world of the non-living. "Terribly wrong" is probably a mild way to put it, because what Iris and Vivi-and Tyler, Grey's ex who happened to be dragged along-had to go through make someone's blood run cold. She reunited with Vivi, but when the oldest of the Hollow sisters, Grey, went missing, Iris knew that something had gone terribly wrong. Alas, her desires to simply lead a normal life went tumbling down the drain when she started catching glimpses of a horned man following her in the shadows.
But when Grey and Vivi left their home to pursue their passions, Iris finally started to feel that she was just a normal girl. She had always known that the three of them were strange and different from everyone else, the event that happened during their childhood a solid proof of it.
House of Hollow follows the story of Iris Hollow, the last one of the three Hollow sisters. The flow of the story was beautiful, it was so beautifully written, but the scenes that played out were terrifying and would bring chills to its readers. The two words are opposite of each other, but yes, that's simply how this story turned out to be. To make it fancier, perhaps "ethereal" and "grotesque" would be perfect for it. The closer Iris gets to the truth, the closer she comes to understanding that the answer is dark and dangerous – and that Grey has been keeping a terrible secret from her for years.If I have to describe House of Hollow using two words, I'd say it's "beautiful" and "horrifying". But when her eldest sister, Grey, goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Iris learns just how weird her life can get: horned men start shadowing her, a corpse falls out of her sister’s ceiling, and ugly, impossible memories start to twist their way to the forefront of her mind.Īs Iris retraces Grey’s last known footsteps and follows the increasingly bizarre trail of breadcrumbs she left behind, it becomes apparent that the only way to save her sister is to decipher the mystery of what happened to them as children. Iris has spent most of her teenage years trying to avoid the weirdness that sticks to her like tar. Something happened to her and her two older sisters when they were children, something they can’t quite remember but that left each of them with an identical half-moon scar at the base of their throats. Seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow has always been strange.
