REVIEW: Holy Moley! I know I have a new favorite Kiersten Modglin book! I just finished Hemlock last night. You absolutely have to buy yourself a copy for the Weekend. I can’t think of a better way to spend the Labor Day Weekend. It won’t take you three days to read because once you start this book, you won’t put it down. I absolutely, hands down love this book. Let me tell you why.

This is not the typical book I’m used to from Kiersten. It is more of a romance with some supernatural added in and a few twists along the way. I always love her twists and turns in a story. I understand that this book may be a bit more like her early books. I have not had a chance to go back and read all of her books yet. One day, I will.

The characters! Wow! I fell in love with Tucker. He is a real sweetheart and I am not sure there is a man alive who is as sweet and patient as this guy. Any girl would be lucky to have a man like him. The other man in the story is Clayton. From the beginning I could see he was a little selfish. Maggie is the main character and Clayton was a lifelong friend that she has loved for many years. Some people don’t appreciate what is in front of their face until it isn’t there anymore. Sound familiar?

Maggie moves back to her hometown of Myers after a breakup with a boyfriend of five years. Yes, he shows up in the story also. So, you have a lot to figure out while reading this book. Anyway, the hometown is small. You know, everyone knows everyone and their business. Just the kind of place I love. You always have your favorite restaurants and haunts. Did I just say haunts?

When Maggie arrives at her new home some strange things begin to happen. Boy, do they ever! That’s what I mean about supernatural being added into the romance. I have to give her credit, I don’t think I could have even tried to live there. That house was something else. 

If you have been a reader of Kiersten Modglin, then you must read Hemlock! Oh my. It is not what I have come to know as her normal but I think she can write anything she wants and keep you glued to the page. She is one of those authors for me that I don’t need to know what the book is about before opening it up to read it. By the end of the first chapter or first page, I’m lost in Kiersten’s world.

If you love romance, suspense and the supernatural this book is for you. I am going to put this right up there with one of the best books I’ve read this year! You will enjoy it. I am sure of that. Until next time…Happy Reading!
