intplibrarian 's review for:

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes
5.0

Filled with tension. The novel goes back and forth between two time periods in the main character's life. Each period highlights a different type of tension and suspense. The earlier time period deals with an increasingly violent and abusive relationship and the fear involved. The second section's tension mostly revolves around the OCD the main character has developed as a result of the experiences from the first part.

It sounds odd writing it out, but reading this book made me SO anxious and that was a great thing. Who wants to be anxious, right? But the author somehow expresses the main character's anxiety that well. I consider that pretty damn good writing.

It's difficult to review this book without giving anything away, IMO. If you like authors like Tanya French, Sophie Hannah, Gillian Flynn, and/or Chevy Stevens, you will very likely enjoy this book.
