Really good. I loved the interesting information on OCD and PTSD in addition to the story.
This started off slowly but whoa, almost had a heart attack while reading the last chuck of this book!
at times disturbing but a fast paced, suspenseful page turner.
tense
medium-paced
I thought it took too long to get to the "meat" of the story, but it hooked me and freaked me the hell out that's for sure. It got the job done!
I felt it took me ageeessss to finish this, but I really enjoyed it. I'm normally not into stories where there are two different timelines, but this one was written in an easy to follow way.
EDIT: After my review, I tend to read other reviews to see what other people thought. I’m lowering my score to 3.5 because I forgot a part I had an issue with. Cathy’s friends are absolute SHIT. What kind of friend takes your abusive (charming 🙄) ex’s side over your own???

Chilling. Terrifying. Powerful.
I'm having a hard time putting into words what this story is for me. I'll leave it off with:
I'm a fan.

Wow! It’s been a long time since a thriller kept me up all night, but Into the Darkest Corner is just the book for you if you are looking for a book that you just can’t turn the pages fast enough and causes you to be groggy the next day because you just had to finish it!
Catherine Bailey is a young, single, and beautiful woman that catches the eye of a guy named Lee who is working at a night club one night that she is at one night with her friends. She is quickly taken in by him and she isn’t the only one. All of her friends seem just as smitten with Lee as she is.
While their relationship starts out with a passionate fury and a surprising attentiveness that Catherine has never experience before, she soon realizes that there is also another darker side to Lee that, frankly, scares her. Lee continually is both physically and mentally abusive to Catherine and begins to wedge doubt of her own character by planting seeds in the minds of all of her friends who all begin to question Catherine’s own stability.
Four years later, Lee is behind bars and Catherine, who is now going under the name Cathy, has become a shell of her former self, and is riddled with obsessive compulsive disorder as well as post-traumatic stress disorder. Although she has no friends and no one to lean on, an unlikely relationship blossoms between herself and the her upstairs neighbor, Stuart. Just when she begins she thinks she can find happiness, Lee is released from prison and first on his agenda of people to visit….Cathy. What happens though when everyone believes you just have OCD and there really IS someone after you?
At several points I realized I was holding my breath because the book was so suspenseful as the character, Lee, is in pursuit of her. For those of you left wondering is there any life after, “Gone Girl,” this book is for you. This book is perfectly timed with a great story build of a woman before and after an abusive relationship came into her life. This is a fantastic read, but not for the faint of heart due to extreme violence and graphic sex scenes. This is just as dark and twisted as Gone Girl, but brings a level of suspense that I have been waiting a long time for in a book.

I really enjoyed this. A bit slow in the middle, perhaps, but nothing too bad. It's a hard read though, touches on multiple serious subjects. Great psychological thriller.
