Quick Summary
If you love dark, twisty stories with a fairy-tale-gone-wrong vibe, this one's for you. The book follows two sisters Iris and Vivi who are determined to find their missing older sister Grey, but as they dig deeper, they realize their family has some seriously strange and dangerous secrets buried in its past. It's set in a world that feels almost normal until it doesn't, with this creeping sense of wrongness that makes everything feel unsettling in the best way. Kids who enjoyed The Hazel Wood or the more twisted fairy tale retellings will probably love this, though fair warning it's got some heavy stuff like violence, suicide, and drug use, so it's definitely better suited for older teens who can handle darker content. The sisters are complex and messy and make questionable decisions, which makes them feel real rather than perfect. Honestly, if you're looking for something atmospheric and haunting that will stick with you long after you finish, this delivers it's creepy, it's emotional, and it's nothing like a typical sibling mystery.
