nadia 's review for:

Hemlock by Kiersten Modglin
3.0
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I listened to this on audio and was very intrigued at the beginning, curious as to where it was all going...

Ultimately, I got frustrated with the main character and her decisions and the key romance thread/theme in the book got rather repetitive. On top of that, based on what we'd been told about the characters, some of their actions at different times felt farfetched/unbelievable.

I wasn't as emotionally invested come the end as I thought I'd be given the beginning.
