This story is weird, creepy, and atmospheric in all the best ways. Absolutely perfect for this time of year.  Grey, Vivi, and Iris mysteriously disappear as children and then, just as mysteriously, reappear in the exact same spot with no memory of where they were for the previous month. No, something is just "off" about them and they can do things that others can't. I couldn't put this down; I had to keep reading to find out what odd and unsettling thing would happen next.

I liked all the imagery in this story. I also didn't expect it to get as dark as it did towards the end, I really liked how it did that.

It also deals with the trauma of missing children, even after they're back.

Dark, mysterious and gruesome, this book was such a joy to read. Despite the lean towards horror, I always found the mystery of who and what the Hollow sisters were, to be a truly compelling drive for the story. Wonderfully written also.

The suspense is amazing, I was tensed reading the whole book.

the end though - I was not prepared for it to be this sad. I also do wonder, is there gonna be a sequel? I really enjoyed Tyler's character development, he deserves better
