A review by tregina
Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt

3.0

Make no mistake: this is a deeply disturbing, deeply scary and deeply claustrophobic book. On that front, it definitely does what it sets out to do. Be warned, there are some very graphic moments. The idea of the novel sounded super cool, but I have to admit the execution is not what I was hoping for and the description is somewhat misleading once you get into the meat of the novel. That, and it treats its female characters fairly appallingly. I think there are a lot of social and ethical questions that it would have been interesting to explore in this scenario (such as the choice to have children in a town they can never leave), but a lot of that is sidelined.

It is definitely creepy as hell, though. It is that.
