Dive into the Story of Hemlock Island

Laney Kilpatrick’s life is turned upside down when her serene vacation home on Hemlock Island becomes a hub for strangers. Post-divorce, Laney must open her home to others to maintain her connection to this cherished part of her past. But serenity is soon replaced by mystery and fear as strange and chilling events begin to unfold. 

Bloodied bones, eerie hex circles, and terrifying marks of a desperate struggle hint at a dark presence on the island. When Laney, joined by her niece, returns to confront these mysteries, she’s not the only one drawn to the island's dark allure. Her ex-husband, Kit, his sister Jayla, and Laney's high school acquaintance Sadie, now a police officer, are all pulled into the web of intrigue.

As they uncover more sinister secrets and the tension mounts, they find themselves trapped, with an unseen entity determined to ensure they never leave.
