In the end, I am glad I finally read it, and I cannot wait to discuss it for the Hollows Book Club!ĭark, dangerous things happened around the Hollow sisters. I considered giving the story three stars at that point, but the ending honestly made the story and tied everything together nicely.

It felt as if nothing was happening and as if the story would end up going nowhere. However, from the middle of the book until the last few chapters, the story felt quite repetitive, and I found that my enjoyment was diminishing. This book emphasises the darkness and light in a strong sister bond, showing the reader that a love like that can either make or break you. It is filled with dark secrets and gruesome truths, but a theme that is apparent is the strong bond and immense love between sisters. The characters all have their good and bad qualities this is a book where none are perfect. I do not usually read books like this, but the story intrigued me. It has been a while since I read such a dark book, and I can understand why there are so many trigger warnings. I was intrigued from the first page and constantly wondered what would happen next. This book has been on my TBR since its release, and I am so happy to have finally gotten to it.
