I felt like he was only there for a comical aspect. Vivi wasn’t too bad either but I really didn’t enjoy reading about Grey or her boyfriend Tyler. Iris was an okay main character to follow, although I never really did love her. It was also a pretty quick read so that was a good thing as well for me.īut as much as I loved the writing, I wanted to enjoy the story and characters more but that didn’t happen. It was my favorite thing out of the whole book. The author definitely has a way with balancing the lyrical and eerie writing, which perfectly fit with the whole atmosphere of the story. And it really was! That was a part I couldn’t get enough of. The story and character development left me somewhat disappointed. Or more accurately the characters started losing me. And why their mother insists on Iris calling her by her first name instead of mom. I was hooked, the writing was absolutely gorgeous as well as creepy (in a good way!) and I desperately wanted to know what happened to Iris and her sisters when they were children. This book had a strong and very promising start. But then Grey goes missing again and she left strange clues for Iris and Vivi to follow. Now at seventeen years old Iris just wants to get through school without any of the odds things happening that seem to be following her.
