A review by bookybrookey
Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

2.0

This book (listened to as an audiobook) was so dumb. I get scared very easily and at first I was creeped out but then I just started rolling my eyes every time something ‘scary’ happened. The protagonist is also very annoying and her attachment to her emotionally abusive and controlling father was unhealthy. I saw some of the answers to Lola’s questions way before their plot lines were resolved and would say that this is just a normal YA book about a girl searching for her mother with some ‘horror’ elements chucked in as an extra storyline.

However, the writing was decent and this had potential to be really good if it stuck to the creepiness it could have explored in a more realistic way.
