Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes
5.0

I started and finished this book in one day and it was incredibly intense! It definitely gave me anxiety while reading about the struggles of the main character. I wanted to get home to check all of my doors and windows and definitely went on a few mental journeys of my home to make sure that I had actually locked up the doors.

It was definitely very interesting to delve into the behavior and the dynamic of an abusive relationship. My mind kept picturing the variety of mind games that Lee must have enjoyed playing. I would absolutely freak out if I had that feeling that someone had been in my home, even if it was just finding silverware in the wrong spot.

I felt like the characters were all fleshed out very well and that you were experiencing the drama, pain, joy and fear along with them. It also made me sad to realize that there are people, men and women, who are living through experiences like this every day and this book seemed like a tiny glimpse into the anxiety and fear that they must be experiencing.

Absolutely incredible read!
