Hemlock Island by Kelley Armstrong

4.0

This was good! I felt a little disconnected since I had so many assignments due while I was reading this one. But the creepy factor was there in abundance. The story was great, I liked about half the characters and was annoyed by the others, though I think maybe I was supposed to be. The author opened up a lot of questions early on. As they started to tie up loose ends, there was a huge twist that I did not see coming.

Now, I normally analyze multiple outcomes as I'm reading through a book and usually stumble upon the right one at some point before it's revealed. I don't know if this one snuck up on me because the storytelling was good, or because I was distracted by essay writing, but I did enjoy being taken by surprise!

Would recommend for an easy horror read :)
