"I loved this book! Harrow Lake is mysterious and intriguing, and it has a couple delightfully spooky parts and storylines. There's a lot going on in this book, and while not everything was as clear cut as I had hoped, I still had a blast reading it. <br/><br/>My one annoyance was that the main character always says that everything is "Optimal". It's always capitalized, and it's CONSTANT. It was frustrating after a while, but I pretty much loved everything else. <br/><br/>You can always grab my attention with a book that has something to do with a horror movie - I think fans of The Remaking by Clay McLeod Chapman may also be into Harrow Lake. Definitely add this one to your TBR!<br/><br/>CW - sexual harassment, suicide, physical & sexual abuse"
"The story is creepy. At first I didn't like the characters but as the story progresses you grow fond of the main character and her struggles you find herself in her mother's hometown. Then get ready for the plot twist at the end. I would almost say it's a psychological thriller, but you never find out what happens to her. "

"This was quite a surprising read. What I expected to be little more than a cheesy horror novel actually came with great value, horrifying secrets, and a perfectly shocking plot. I couldn’t have loved it more. <br/>Side note.. I DESPERATELY WISH I COULD READ L. EVANGELINE’S NOVEL. And her original version of Cygnet’s Cage. IYKYK."
"Good, but not optimal"
