The Hook:
When Iris Hollow’s sister, Grey, goes missing,
she is forced to confront the strange dark
things in their childhood. She begins to
unearth unbelievable fairy-tale like secrets,
and must decide what is and isn’t true.
My impressions:
Reading this book was like an excellent Cup of
hot coffee. It woke me up and got my brain
going inthe best way. The characters were
beautifully written and felt both real and
surreal at the same time. Many books use
the setting to create a feeling of wonder
and suspense, but in this book, it’s the
characters themselves who feel like magic.
I don’t know whether to call it gothic or
magical realism, but the atmosphere in this book
is gorgeous. IF you’re looking for a book to
read slowly and savor, this one is sure to
be delicious. Fans of the Hazelwood books are
likely to enjoy the style and tone of this book,
which has a similar fairy-tale like mood.
Also, fans of Erin A. Craig will enjoy the
characters and world building.
All in all, this book was refreshing and Fun
to read. I highly recommend it to anyone
looking for something out of the ordinary
to read.
Happy Reading!
