Blog Tour: Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

Hello my dear bookish friends!

I do hope that you are all well ❤️

Today I have the the pleasure to bring to you a review of an upcoming thriller by Kat Ellis, Harrow Lake. This review is part of a Blog Tour hosted by the amazing Dave of TheWriteReads. Thank you so much Dave and Kat for allowing me to take part in this tour, its been a thrill!!

So as I have said over and over again the first few pages of a book are the ones that make it or brake it for me. The ones that ignite the fire in the pit of my stomach making me want to read another page, pushing me to move along with the words..

This book does just that! It is so descriptive.. the way the words are linked to each other paint the scene right in front of your eyes and you don’t want to stop, you cannot stop reading!

Until your son comes running in disrupting your peace and quiet of course 😂

 

Lets talk about the book..

Lola is a yound lady who has spent all her life wondering why her mom left her. She only knows what her dad told her: Your mum didnt want us and she left to go find a better life. So Lola has moved on with her life growing up with her dad, a famous horror film Director. When a tragedy hits the family Lola has to go live with her grandmother in Harrow Lake, her mom’s home town. This town, Harrow Lake, is where her dad’s most famous horror movie was filmed in. And guess what? He mom was the leading lady in the movie! Will Lola find out more about her mom while living in Harrow Lake or will she get dragged into the stories that hunt it?

As you might have guessed I truly enjoyed Harrow Lake!

The story is very engaging and dare I say, different than what we usually read. It touches the very depths of your soul were you hide all of your childhood fears and your secrets. Harrow Lake is a story about the secrets you keep burried in the depths of your soul that come out to haunt you when you least expect them.

I liked Lola’s character, she is a very strong willed young lady that will push herself beyond her boundaries and won’d give up. She always pushes her self to find what the optimal solution would be. I liked how we could get a feel of her mindset with the writing being mainly what was in Lolas’s mind at the specific time in the book. There were a lot of moments where I was literally gaping at the screen with my eybrows shot up! The supporting characters were great too and at points pretty creepy!

The ending..well what can I say about the ending.. it was cathartic to say the least. It was where it all came together and even though you were kind of expecting it you still get that aha moment.  You get the feeling of justice being served and that there is hope and light at the end of tunnel even though it all may seem so damn dark in our lifes sometimes.

Overall the book was chilling and dark but not so scary.. for me anyway. Then again you might not want to read it at night if you live on your own.
