A review by nhnabass
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
5.0
Wow! This is a phenomenal thriller! I loved so much about this book. The author’s pacing is perfect, leaving you just one step behind every twist in the tale.
I must say, I absolutely love the protagonist. The way he describes his wife is beautiful and moving. I struggle to find male authors writing women well, and Crouch really did. It was noticeable and I felt so endeared by Jason’s love for Dani.
I really can’t think of a single gripe about this book other than having to google what the heck a “Brownstone” is because it seemed specific and came up a lot. This was a fantastic dark sci-fi that sends you into just enough of an existential spiral to gently pull you back out by the end. I thoroughly enjoyed.
