All the Colors of the Dark was great. 4.75/5 it's long but a good mystery, romance and historical fiction combination. 

It's a slow build novel. Very long and drags in parts. When the story finally comes together it's great but takes a long time to get there. I liked Saint's bees and her story of trying to find Patch and trying to find love. Patch is a complicated, tortured soul. I loved that he used painting to communicate and discover the missing girls. He is obsessed with finding his lost girl. However, he never recognizes the lost loves in his own life. The characters are very well developed. Even the secondary characters: her grandmother, Patch's mom, the Doctor, and the Police Chief. The love triangle was so good. Not a central part of the story but well done. Twisty mystery/thriller with aspects of romance and literary fiction.

I have mixed feelings. I liked the stories but there a lot of unrealistic and ridiculous things that i cant say without spoilers.

Slow to start, sometimes made me work hard to recall who was who (names of characters who’d be spoken of pages ago) but all in all an amazing story. Broke me in all the good ways only a book can.

Excellent read, crossing the lines of justice versus right. Deep, invested character development.
