A dark, twisty modern fairytale where three sisters discover they are not exactly all that they seem and evil things really do go bump in the night.


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.

Twisted dark turns lead you spiraling down a path of death and rebirth.

Three sisters disappeared one New Years Eve and three sisters returned a month later with no memories and some special abilities that not one person would believe. From their miraculous return to their tumultuous lives a decade later, Krystal Sutherland gives us a story we never knew we wanted to be told. Her idea of the veil between life and death is nothing anyone could ever fathom, but now that I’ve read this book, the idea is just as plausible as many others I’ve be told about.

A master storyteller who leads you through the pain, the grief, and the intimate bond between sisters is one I will definitely place on my list of must reads from now on.
