Review of this one courtesy of my daughter who is an actual Young Adult, and not a Curmudgeonly Old Git like me:
I really enjoyed this book. It was quite creepy in some parts but in my opinion this was good. The main character Lola is the daughter of a horror film maker Nolan Nox. Lola is sent to the town of Harrow Lake to stay with her grandmother, who she has never met; after her father is attacked. It is her mother (who left when she was 5)'s hometown and the town is also the setting of her father's horror film Nightjar, in which her mother stars as the leading role. As she explores the town and meets new people she realises not everything is as it seems.
Harrow Lake is a really enjoyable book and you have no idea what will happen next.The descriptions of the town are very good as you can picture where the characters are. The book makes you question your first impressions of the characters and story, for example, is the town really as creepy as it seems? The ending of the book was very good and unexpected. It had a lot of twists throughout the book that kept me reading. It had some good creepy moments and it keeps you on your toes. I really recommend this book. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
