A review by ambereatsbooks
Hemlock by Kiersten Modglin

4.0

I went into this book blind. So, I was not expecting it to be a romance suspense/thriller. I haven’t read many of those but, the ones I have read, I have seemed to enjoy. This book was no exception. 

The romance was very well done in my opinion. I loved the tropes that were present: love triangle, fake dating, second chance romance. I got so caught up in the romance at first that I was genuinely surprised by the suspense/thriller elements when they popped up. I thought the balance was well done. I also appreciated how the author chose to jump back and forth between the past and the present. It never felt tedious. I enjoyed both timelines equally. 

I would definitely pick up another book by this author.
