Will I love Hex?

A chilling supernatural thriller, fast-paced and haunting, with memorable characters. I enjoyed the way the storyline revealed the bizarre and terrifying, while leaning into frames of the ordinary - diverse townsfolk going about their day, used to horrifying sights that exist among them. There's an intelligent and haunting unravelling revealed, as the past influences the present, with the question of where the true horror lies, revealing the depths of human nature in the face of terror. Very thought provoking and relevant.

I couldn’t stop thinking about this book because it was suffocating.

The idea that "groupthink" could weigh on everyone so much that they learn to live with something terrifying, and still choose cruelty over kindness, unsettled me more than any jump scare. I remember setting it down one night and realizing what I was witnessing: a trainwreck in slow motion.

It reminded me how horror works best when it holds up a mirror, and sometimes what stares back is uglier than a monster, or in this case, a witch.
