“Hemlock” By Kiersten Modglin @kmod 

 

📕 Edition: Audiobook 

 

A gripping combination of romance and thriller. A tale of love, secrets, and a haunting past. 

 

The protagonist, Maggie Ellis, is a compelling character with a past she can't escape. The tension builds as she returns to her hometown, and the atmosphere is thick with suspense. The writing is so vivid that I felt the unsettling sensation along with Maggie—every room held secrets, and I was hooked on the mystery. 

 

The blend of psychological thriller and romantic suspense is seamless, it kept me on the edge of my seat. As Maggie unravels the grim history of her new home, the plot twists hit like a sledgehammer. 

 

Overall, It’s a dark and twisted journey that proves home is not always a sanctuary, but a place where buried secrets can come to light. 

 

Thank you @NetGalley and @dreamscapre_media for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
