A decade after her big sister’s mysterious disappearance, Ronnie comes home to a town she long ago outgrew. Armed with a top-shelf journalism degree but disillusioned by a dismal job market, she clings to the one opportunity that gives her life an assignment for Mayday magazine to dig up the details of her sister’s death.
But when Ronnie’s research leads to her sister’s involvement in a secret society fueled by designer drugs, bizarre rituals, and unimaginable wealth, the town’s elite decide that Hemlock Grove must be protected at all costs—even if it means silencing Ronnie for good.
With the corrupt police department in the pocket of the elites, Ronnie has no one to trust—except for Nate, the blue-eyed, handsome cop who risks his career to protect her. A former high school friend of Ronnie’s sister, Nate’s out to prove to Ronnie that she can believe in him—and that he’ll do anything to make sure she doesn’t become the next victim of the town’s secret underworld and its disturbing rituals.
A spine-tingling debut that’s teeming with thrills, Hemlock Grove is a HEA mystery/suspense romance novel featuring a bold love that blossoms among long-buried secrets about the hidden lives of the people we hold close.
It's an interesting book, but I have mixed feelings about it. HEA seems a bit like a lie, since her sister is dead, and it's hard to have a complete HEA when the lead characters had a sibling that's dead. Story was interesting enough to keep me reading, but there was a lot of things that kept it from being my favorite book. I was gifted an exclusive copy.
