4.01 AVERAGE


Mantiene la tensión desde el principio hasta el final. Quizás esperaba más por las buenísimas críticas que había leído. Aún así, me ha gustado. Lo recomiendo.

This book took me too long to finish. Because it was so powerful, each page just pulled me deeper into the mess.
The goosebumps that I got when Lee turned villainous for the first time didn’t go away until the last page. This book is definitely not for everyone. Those rape scenes are gut wrenching, and written so well that you feel like its happening in front of you.

The last scene was the highlight. Lee is by far the creepiest psychos that I have ever come across.

Elizabeth Haynes is an incredible writer from the UK. Into the Darkest Corner was the first book I read from her, and I have been obsessed ever since.

This is the third or fourth time finishing this book, and it still had me on the edge of my seat! I love that Haynes has the time jumps between events.

As an abused girl, and as a recovering girl. The story plans out perfectly, and you never learn too much at once keeping you enthralled in the book.

Haynes did wonderfully in this story, with trauma and a twisted love story that leads to a temporary happy ending- leaving you to wonder what will come next.

One of the better psychological thrillers I've read. Very intense, and very brutal.

Super creepy and unsettling book. That being said, I basically read it in 2 days. The way that the story was told from two different time periods was maddening but kept my interest the entire time. Like I said before, very creepy/disturbing but a great thriller.

Phew. I don't know if I should be glad I'm done with the book or sad. Into the Darkest Corner is definitely a thriller..only it does take a while for something to actually happen. I'm not complaining though. Most times you're with Cathy, and her repetitive checking of doors,locks..that sort of thing. But moreover, it is the thinking that is involved. All that helps into building the thrill. You begin to wonder along with Cathy is she really did see someone there or was it just her imagination. You get to know, or at least have an idea how it is to have an OCD and I think Elizabeth Haynes nailed it with describing that, how Cathy feels, how she deals life etc.

The author describes the violence so perfectly that you could almost feel like this has happened to you. It's just so..vivid.

The book was captivating and definitely a page turner.

If you're not used to disturbing things as such, I suggest you stay away from the book, cause it does involve some strong violence and abuse in it.
