5.0

This was such an original storyline. It was creepy, scary and sad. There are tons of trigger warnings: suicide, animal death, child death and abuse. If you can stomach all that....this was a very good book that will stick with me for a long time. A town of people who have become prisoners to fear for hundreds of years. Grief, fear and a curse....can all lead to chaos and disaster.

ok so that was a lot. the beginning gave me reverse The Village (the m. night movie) vibes. what I mean is that in the village, they didn't know why they weren't allowed out of their village VS in HEX they knew exactly why. however, everything fell apart in part 2, it was bonkers batshit crazy. i had my mouth open in horror the entire last 30 pages. Overall, I cannot tell if I liked this book. like i did like it but i need to digest it because, again, it was a lot, especially the last section.
