At Night All Blood is Black really draws you into the mind of the main character. The writing is so well done that you can feel the emotions, whilst still understanding the trauma and delusions the character goes through. 

I really enjoyed this book, it was dark and emotional and drew me in from the very beginning. Such a wonderful work of fiction so clearly based on real life experiences.
