Harrow Lake is a YA thriller/mystery novel by Kat Ellis that follows Lola, the daughter of a famous filmmaker, who made a cult classic film called Nightjar. The town that her father used to film his masterpiece within is called Harrow Lake. There’s something off about Harrow Lake, and Lola realises this when she’s sent there to stay with her grandmother while her dad recovers from an injury in hospital. Whilst Lola’s staying in Harrow Lake, she starts to uncover some truths and mysteries surrounding her absent mother, who played the lead roll in Lola’s father’s film. The longer Lola stays in Harrow Lake, the stranger things get...

KEY POINTS:
* had no idea what was going to happen next, the suspense was really good!
* had me wanting to read on and on to find out how it ends
* enjoyed the development in the main character and how the other characters within the story shifted around this
* loved the town of Harrow Lake - it felt so real and effective, like it was truly a part of the story, not just a backdrop
* felt as though I was expecting just a tiny bit more from the story. The ending didn't punch me the way I thought it would, and so I felt a little flat coming away from it. If it weren't for that, it would have been a strong 4 stars!
