This was mysterious and hooked me from the beginning. However it fell apart for me after that. I know I am the unpopular opinion. It just wasnt for me. 3.5 stars

This is one of those books that will linger in my mind for a long time. Raw and ruggedly real, it makes you think and then think again.

I am WRECKED. I’ve never read anything quite like Mud Vein. It’s darkness reminded me of Verity, which makes sense because Colleen Hoover’s BFF is this author so I’m sure she influenced her. However this darkness was shrouded in hope and in the final pages of the book I just lost it. The tears didn’t stop for a while. How can a book be so disturbing and make me feel so much emotionally all at once? This is a genius piece of work that deal with our mental, physical and emotional wounds as humans in a way I haven’t seen before. I read it in one sitting and am now obsessed. I feel the need to read everything Tarryn has written before. Thank you Tasha for recommending this to me a YEAR ago and to Brittney for loaning me the book so I could finally have an excuse to read it. I was not disappointed even a little in the book only with myself for waiting so long to read it.

never have I read a book with so much feel, and so little conversation. I won't read this book twice, but I'm pretty sure I'll remember it always.

What a ride, I was completely engulfed in this story.

This was very different, I love how unique Senna’s story was. I have read a lot of books where the main character is an author and ends up falling short. This one was full of suspense, darkness, pain and surprisingly hope. We can’t always have what we want but what we need is sometimes right in front of us.

A five star book is for a book I would read over and over until I die. I will never read this book again because I feel like I just died and been reborn. But I feel the death lingering. I hate this book. I’m going to go read the rest of Fisher’s books now.

Just some brief thoughts on this book. The thing that saved this book from being a DNF was the plot - 1000%. I thought the story was compelling the characters were intriguing. I loved the twist! I wasn’t expecting it and that’s always a bonus with me. Don’t go into this book expecting detailed smut - it’s not there. That’s not necessarily a down side for me, but thought I’d be upfront with that in my review. Is the book realistic? No, not really. But that didn’t bother me either.

I have to be honest, what made me almost DNF the book was the writing style. The best way to describe it, for me, was like being in a car with a driver who slams on their brakes too hard and too frequently. The sentences were short and abrupt with not a lot in between them. If that’s something you can look past and want an unconventional story with a compelling plot, then this story might be for you.

This book was good. Tarryn is a great writer and sucks you in with the richness and complexities of her characters. It was a little too metaphorical for my liking, but that’s classic Tarryn.

Oh Tarryn, Tarryn, Tarryn. Will I ever read a book of yours that doesn't completely mess with me? I read this book in a day. A day. Well 12 hours to be exact. I have never done that before. EVER. If I could give this book 6 stars I would. I had nightmares about Senna and Isaac and this thing called life that is now theirs. I feel so lost and confused and mostly... sad. This one is going to take me a bit to process. Tarryn... I need a break. *sigh*
