A review by booklvrkat
A Year of You by A.D. Roland

5.0

This was a dark story. It is compelling, scary, violent and just plain mean, at times. The relationships between all the characters make you catch your breath wondering where the story is going to go with new information discovered and it makes you scream in frustration when it doesn't go the direction you thought it might. The author keeps you running and by the end you will be panting. There is a love story, although different, there is drama and mystery, but the violence and secrets wrapped around it will make you gasp and cry, possibly at the same time. There is some torture, but it is necessary to the book and the author doesn't overdo it where it becomes horrific for the sake of being horrific. The strength of Mattie, our heroine, is amazing, and when she reaches deep within herself to come out on the other side of this alive....well, lets just say, (with a fist pound to the sky) YES!
