House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland
4.0

“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, 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. 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 ten years ago, might just be calling them home.”

This book is definitely different. It’s even a great book to read right before Halloween because it’s creepy and has a lot of ew, gross moments. It’s not scary, but definitely has that creepy, gross vibe. I loved the mystery aspects of this book of what happened to the girls when they are younger and where is Grey now. I did guess some things though when it came to who the strange man was and some of the mystery, which is a bit of a bummer. However, I really enjoyed this book and read it in 6 hours.
