She thought she'd escaped her poisonous past...


Thirteen years ago, Maggie Ellis left her small town and vowed to never return. In her rearview mirror were two men she loved and an ominous secret that would forever haunt her.


Now, tragedy has brought her back, and she's determined to forget that fateful night. But in a town like Myers, with familiar faces and chilling memories lurking around every corner, moving on is easier said than done.


Before the ink can dry on the closing documents for her new residence, Maggie begins to feel unsettled. In every room, there's the unmistakable sensation she's being watched. The strange sounds, odd smells, and bizarre occurrences only add to her paranoia.


There's something sinister about her new home...


When she discovers the devastating truth about the house and its grim history, Maggie's worst fears are realized. In order to survive, she must unearth the secrets she'd always planned to keep buried.


After all, they say that home is where the heart is, but as Maggie knows, home is also where the skeletons lie.


Seamlessly blurring the edges between psychological thriller and romantic suspense, million-copy bestselling author Kiersten Modglin brings us a dark and twisted romantic thriller, perfect for fans of Verity, Tell Me Lies, The Ghost Writer, and YOU.

Hemlock is officially tied with The Arrangement as my favorite KMod book!

The romantic suspense had me all in my feels while simultaneously perched at the edge of my seat.

If you're looking for a fantastic psychological thriller to get you in that fall, spooky season mood, Hemlock will get the job done.

Many thanks to the author for this digital Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review.

Glad I didn’t press my 19yo to listen along on the way back to college. What I thought was a thriller turned out to be mystery with a side of soft porn.

I'd consider this more romance than psychological thriller but it was still good and kept me guessing
