Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis
4.0
Unsettling. I think that would be the best word to describe the majority of this book.
For the bulk of the story you have no idea whats going on. Everything feels strange and like some big mystery that everyone is in on except for you and the main character, Lola.
I've taken roughly 24 hours to think about the ending of this book and my opinions on it. I'm still not quite sure. The book was most definitely an easy read and I found myself enjoying the plot but I don't know how exactly to rate it. It definitely had a few creepy moments in it too, which I enjoyed.
After the end most things cleared up. Although I am still a little unclear on Mr Jitters and his involvement. I think perhaps there was just something very rotten to the core about the town that made the townspeople bad with it.
I can't decide whether this book is 3 or 4 stars. It doesn't feel low enough for a 3 but its not quite a 4. Maybe like a 3.7. It is well written and I liked the twist at the end. Overall this is a really solid read. Its nice and short too.
My personal rating will be 3.5 stars rounded up to a 4.
