'Granite Harbor' by Peter Nichols is a fantastic read. This novel delivers up horror as inscrutable as my favorite Stephen King reads. The details being served up are unbelievable but embraceable. Nichols' characters are endearing and memorable. They feel like people I know, whereas sometimes when reading novels with multiple characters I forget particular traits or significant personality details. I found myself very anxious for the conclusion before more horror unfolded for these people. The setting lends to the almost wiccan vibe but again, thanks to the influence of Stephen King, Maine seems to beg of clinical horror. I thought the novel concluded satisfactorily; all of the threads weren't totally tied off but I have an idea how the future might play out for my favorite characters. I would give this novel five stars and definitely recommend it to anyone who likes thrillers, horror and a few romantic vibes. Thanks to BookishFirst and Celadon for putting this ARC in my hands.
