Hemlock Grove

I wanted to read this before the show began on Netflix. It is a very strange novel that kept my interest. I had a little bit of a hard time sorting out what happened in some of the chapters, mostly involving big reveals so I will not discuss them here. What I really loved about this book was not the characters (a vampire, a werewolf) but the subplots and the town of Hemlock Grove itself. I feel as though McGreevy really left it open enough to explore this world with many more stories. It was refreshing to see evil being evil, and there were some new kinds of evil here as well. Sometimes the writing gets a little flowery and abstract. This is what leads to the reader confusion. I still can't fully explain what happened to two of the characters. I cannot wait to see what the tv show does for Shelly.
