What this book is about
Krystal Sutherland's YA horror novel follows Iris Hollow, who at ten years old disappeared along with her two sisters and returned ten days later changed in ways no one can explain. Now an adult, her eldest sister Grey has gone missing again. The novel is atmospheric and frightening — the horror builds steadily and the violence, when it comes, is genuinely shocking. One of the stronger YA horror novels of recent years. Not for squeamish readers.
