Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis
4.0
”Harrow Lake never really recovered after the landslide swallowed half the town; it died, the way Drown Town did, even if nobody here will say it out loud. And dead things don’t move on. They decay.”
Lola was sent to stay at her grandmother’s house in Harrow Lake, her mother’s hometown and the place where her father filming his infamous movie Nightjar. At first, she thought that the people in there was weird for believing in superstition and an old folktale monster called Mister Jitters, all she wanted just to go back to New York as soon as possible. However, she wasn’t so sure anymore if the story was just folktales after seeing lots of strange things happened in front of herself. She decided to stay, especially after she found her mother’s traces everywhere... With that clues in hand, she’s trying to find her mother who left her when she was just a little child.
such a page turner!
I wasn’t expecting this one to be THAT chilling!
But, oh God... seems like this book want to keep everyone who reads it cold-sweating and gripping the edge of whatever its readers currently sitting on!
I enjoyed its gloomy atmosphere and its bizarre thrilling scenes. My brain wired all night trying to solve the mystery inside this book. And the revelation at the end, it still baffled me!
Mister Jitters isn’t the only monster this town has created.
I also love it, how the author trying to make every characters seem to have at least one dark secret... I can’t stop myself trying to guess what kind of secret they might hide.
Reading the whole story that wrote from Lola’s POV would make you bewildered all the time! this book wasn’t only giving you a horror story, it played with your mind!
