House of Hollow
by
Goodreads Description: Seventeen-year-old Iris Hollow has always been strange. 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.
Iris has spent most of her teenage years trying to avoid the weirdness that sticks to her like tar. 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.As 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.
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.
My Thoughts: This book was one of my closest friend's pick for our recent buddy read, and I'm glad she picked it. I don't have much experience with horror genre, but I surprisingly enjoyed reading "House of Hollow". The story is incredibly fast-paced, and the ending was both shocking and unsettling for me. However, I would've liked it more if the last couple of chapters had been even morbid. Nevertheless, I rated it 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. It's a perfect book to pick for your autumn/Halloween read.
