I am having a hard time trying to explain how I felt reading this book. The first thing which comes to mind is "claustrophobic" My heart was in my throat, my anxiety heightened. It was such a bizarre story, yet, I could not put it down.
It was nothing like I have read before. The end left me feeling extremely sad. I finished it this morning, refusing to get out of bed until I was done and am now sitting here writing this with a heavy heart like I just experienced a loss in my own life.
After this, I'm going to need to find a nice fluffy book to read.

My first Tarryn Fisher novel...but not my last. Now I'm really excited for Bonaire, because I've already bought The Wrong Family. Hurry up Saturday!
I've been trying to write this review for a month. My mind tends to wander back to this story a lot. It definitely struck a chord with me. I didn’t expect it to make me feel the way it made me feel. I went in completely blind which is something I totally recommend to anyone who wants to read this book. So instead of doing my normal review where I go in depth about the story and characters, I’m going to keep this brief.
Mud Vein is not a love story. I repeat, it is not a love story. So if you go into Mud Vein expecting one, you will be sorely disappointed. Does this mean there isn’t love woven throughout MV? No. And that’s about all I’m going to say on that front.
What was Mud Vein to me? It was a story about the human condition. It was about the beauty and the darkness each of us has within. It was about the selfish and the selfless, the broken and the mended.
I hated Senna at first. My goodness, did I despise her. But then I did something more than look at Senna, I saw her. I saw Senna in myself, in my best friends, in my worst enemies. Senna represented the darkest and most difficult parts of each person’s psyche. This is Senna’s story, it’s her journey to find the truth, her truth. There’s a palpable level of mystery and intrigue surrounding her circumstance. Why is she locked in the cabin with the one person she never expected to see again? Who is responsible?
I thought the plot and characters were fascinating. I couldn’t put Mud Vein down once I picked it up. It appealed to the darkest parts of my heart. It made me feel numb, elation, and heartbreak. I don’t think this book will appeal to everybody, in fact, I’ve noticed it hasn’t, but to me, it spoke volumes. There is nothing like an author who can capture the human condition so wholly. Mud Vein showed the darkness and the self-destruction we are each capable of, but also the utter selflessness and love that makes humans what we are. So if you're looking for a book that will challenge you and really make you consider humanity, pick this one up.
Wow!
“you’ve been silent your whole life. You were silent when we met, silent when you suffered. Silent when life kept hitting you. I was like that too, a little. But not like you. You are a stillness. And I tried to move you. It didn’t work. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t move me. I heard everything you didn’t say. I heard it so loudly that I couldn’t shit it off. Your silence, Senna, I hear it so loudly.”
I felt this was a captivating story because it is not your typical romance. This story shows you that Love isn’t always filled with happiness, it shows you that true love will last through the hardest of times. It tells us that when times are tough you can’t just give up. If you truly love someone you will stand with them and be their support when they need it.
“I like pain. I like when it lingers. It reminds a person of what they’ve lived through.”
When I finished Mud Vein I was at a loss for words, I didn’t even know what to feel anymore. This powerful story is captivating, it ropes you in and holds you with suspense. While reading I experienced so many emotions. I absolutely loved this book and I am positive that I will read it again, and again, and again!

I really enjoyed Tarryn Fisher's Love Me with Lies series so I was looking forward to reading this book. Her writing did not disappoint. However, I was disappointed that I didn't really like the main character Senna, nor did I feel like we got to know enough of her back story to understand why she was the way she was. I also wished we could have learned more about Isaac. I was disappointed in the ending but the story leading up to it was thrilling enough and kept me guessing.
Not your typical story. Love, fear, desperation, isolation, and being forced together by a psycho trying to prove a point...
This was a dark book, well written, twisty turny, good enough plot. I just did not LIKE the main character enough to ever enjoy this book. I can see why many would love this book, I'm just not that person.
My mind is forever warped. My thoughts are jumbled together. This book. This darn book is why I Love Tarryn yet I also hate this ending. I don’t know what is wrong with me. I love Tarryn because of her writing but sometimes you may know how something is gonna end but you just can’t accept it and that’s how I feel. Curse you Tarryn but writing so torn yet beautifully! Now I need to go see my therapist.
