 Loved it!!! Admittedly I had to trudge through the very beginning, but as soon as Harrow Lake and some of the supporting characters started getting fleshed out I was hooked! I loved the mystery and discovering things along with our protag Lola, watching her slowly unravel at the seams.

With most horror/thriller novels, I always feel like the ending gets rushed. I feel that's somewhat the case with Harrow Lake, but it feels much more earned compared to some other books I've read lately. There have been breadcrumbs left here and there, so it feels more like a payoff than a frantic rush to the finish line.

Honestly, the worst thing I can say about this book is that it's over! I want to read more!
