Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

It was difficult to rate this book 5 stars! Not a criticism in the slightest, but how do you differentiate between enjoying something so dark, twist-filled and gripping, when there is a high probability you may not live to tell the tale.....because of the presence of something far more sinister...Mister Jitters!

I thoroughly enjoyed Harrow Lake. Kats ornate style of writing made me feel like I was back in Derry or Jerusalems Lot! Where people, unfortunately, know each others business and where there is a historic trauma plaguing everyone that no one talks about. Everyone except Lola!

On arrival to Harrow Lake, Lola soon finds she isn't as immune from that plague as she would have hoped and soon learns she's connected to Harrow Lake in more ways than one! It doesn't help that her father is a celebrated filmmaker whose best work was filmed in Harrow Lake aaaand the fact that there is a flesh-eating monster called Mister Jitters who makes the locals disappear!!?

A chilling, dark and twist-filled book that kept me glued throughout and guessing until the end! There were times I am sure I saw Mister Jitters come out of the book to get me but luckily I escaped!.... Can Lola!??? Just make sure when you buy this book that you have the door locked and have carved yourself a jitterbug out of wood!! It may save your life!

I bought this book at Amazon.co.uk. Purchase here Harrow Lake

My next stop on the Tour de Kat reading list is...

BLACKFIN SKY

When Sky falls from Blackfin Pier and drowns on her sixteenth birthday, the whole town goes into  mourning - until she shows up three months later like nothing happened. 

Unravelling the mystery of those missing months takes Sky to the burned-out circus in the woods, where whispers of murder and kidnapping begin to reveal the town’s secrets. But Sky’s not the only one digging up the past – the old mime from the circus knows what happened to her, and he has more than one reason for keeping quiet about it.
