"Hemlock Island" is a creepy book with an atmospheric and haunting setting. The story could have gone in so many directions, and I'm glad the author chose the one she did. This book was highly entertaining, and I read it in two sittings.

The writing is not great, it feels very juvenile. I’m surprise this author has written other books. I had to check to see if it was YA? Just not for me.

not the worst book i’ve ever read, but it would have been better without the current events references. it felt like a book written by a millennial, but not in a good way.
