✨ “He kissed me with color, with drumbeat, and a surgeons precision. He kissed me with who he was, the sum of his life - and it was all encompassing. I wondered what I kissed him with since I was only broken parts” ✨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Emotional, seriously f*cked up but at the same time liberating and bursting with truths about a person's self. My waterworks still haven't stopped.
This book was crazy and captivating and it made me see and feel things. I really had no idea going in but I'm well versed in Tarryn so I knew it would be dark and I needed that right now. It was so beautifully written, so suspenseful and painful and lovely all at the same time!
I just don't know how to say anything about this book. I loved it! Senna with her quirks. Craziness. Stubborn emotionless. Strong, man that lady is strong! Isaac with his soft sweet heart. Forgiving. Brave. Loyalty to Senna. Savor qualities. I truly didn't want it to end for reasons I will not type because I don't want to spoil anything. But my heart did hurt at the end. For both of them. I can tell you know that I will always remember this book. It we stick with me.
If you're going into this book looking for a love story and a happily ever after - don't read it. But if you want to be taken on a twisted, self finding ride - read it.

Realmente un 4.5
La verdad fue una grata sorpresa, al principio creí que no me iba a cautivar, muchas interrogantes, pero cuando hizo el flashback me capturó y no lo pude soltar hasta terminarlo, Fisher te hace adentrarte en la atmósfera, a veces si quería golpear a Senna, pero realmente te hace sentir y comprender lo rota que está, aunque la mayoría de las veces no estuve de acuerdo con su actitud, en cuanto a Issac lo terminas amando.
Una historia fuera de lo normal , donde te muestra lo que los demonios internos le hacen a una persona y como llegas a herir a los demás. Para nada una historia de amor.
El final me destrozo.
Cuando amas a alguien te quedas en sus peores momentos no importa si eso te termina destrozando a ti en el proceso.
2 stars
God, this is a hard one for me.
I absolutely LOVE Fisher's writing style. It's beautiful and unique and always conjures up various emotions for me. And while the writing in Mud Vein was as gorgeous as ever....the actual story left me feeling cold and detached.
I don't really want to sit here and list all of the problems I had with this book. I actually hate writing negative reviews over all. But, i feel like i need to at least partially explain why it was a struggle for me to even give this book 2 stars.
First of all, the premise was very intriguing to me. And even though for the first 30% of the book I was beyond confused as to WTF was going on, I was still willing to go with it...hoping that everything would make sense in the end, and when Fisher gave us the Big Reveal it would wash away all of the frustration I had with the plot.
No such luck.
The twist...was a HUGE disappointment. It made very little sense, and was just too far fetched for me. And while I never found myself really rooting for the main characters, I still found the actual ending to be quite depressing.
Mud Vein was one of my top 3 most anticipated books of 2014, and perhaps some could say that my expectations were too high. Judging by all the glowing reviews I have seen for this book, once again i seem to be in the minority when it comes to my opinion.
I am still an enormous fan of Fisher's writing, and even though this book left me disappointed, I will still gladly read anything else she decides to publish.

I read this book because I saw an author I love mention the sale and that it was one of her favorite books ever. The reviews were stellar, the plot seemed interesting, and I figured it would be something I would like. Sometimes, things don’t happen like we expect them to.
For the majority of the novel, I was rapidly turning the pages in anticipation of the reveal. Senna woke up in a cabin, trapped in the middle of nowhere with no way out. Inside the cabin was Isaac, who was someone that she was familiar with, but I didn’t know why. The writing in Mud Vein was superb because I really didn’t know what was happening until it was revealed and the way it was laid out made it interesting to read.
A lot of reviews focus on how disappointing the reveal was, which I agree with, but that’s not where my disappointment began. It began with the rapid deterioration of the plausibility of the situation and the characters. Once power went out and characters were doing lots of crazy things to injure or otherwise hurt themselves to save themselves or others, things kind of got too crazy for me. As I got to know the characters, I realized I didn’t care for them much, either. Bits of the past were revealed and we finally figured out how Senna and Isaac knew each other and why they weren’t very friendly at that point.
I just.. I don’t like books like this with destructive and destroyed heroines who are dark just to be dark. I don’t believe that Senna could ever be real. And if she was, she’s certainly not anyone I’d ever want to know. She’s selfish, depressing, she cut herself off from the world and was dull and numb in general. The entire situation with Isaac didn’t seem very believable or healthy. And then she went from one tragedy to the next and thinks she’s tough because she does it alone and doesn’t need anyone. While I believe that pain demands to be felt, I don’t think choosing to forgo surgery that would make your leg more comfortable and easier to manage in favor of living with pain to remind yourself of what you’ve done is a healthy decision to make. It’s overdramatic and doesn’t really do anything.
I love dark books. Gritty, raw, terrifying, depressing, etc. Those elements don’t bother me. So that’s not why I didn’t like Mud Vein. I guess I just didn’t really think it was interesting. I wasn’t impressed with the overall message, the characters, or the events. The reveal about the whole kidnapper thing was underwhelming and I felt like the book was full of unbelievable grit just to be different instead of telling a story that made sense.
I must have missed something because Mud Vein has really awesome reviews and the majority of people seemed to like it. I would not recommend it myself, but I think it’s one of those books that might work for some people. Maybe there was something about the characters that didn’t work for me.

Leeré más libros de esta autora. Como que me gusta que me haga sufrir, no se. Tal vez soy masoquista.
I can't even finish reading this book. Love her other books but feel like I wasted my money on this one.
