Dark Room Etiquette
by Robin Roe
Dark Room Etiquette
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Thriller
Format: Kindle eBook
Date Published: 10/11/22
Author: Robin Roe
Publisher: HarperCollins
Pages: 512
GR: 4.53
TW ⚠️: This book does have some heavy trigger warnings that I want other readers to be aware of including, kidnapping, sexual assault, torture, abuse, bullying, death, and brainwashing, almost cult like activity.
I requested a digital advanced readers copy from NetGalley and HarperCollins and providing my opinion voluntarily and unbiased.
My Thoughts: I stumbled upon this book through the author and am I glad that I did! What a dark, disturbing read. Trauma, it can look different on different people, it is how you deal with it, move through it, and get on the other side that really matters. I loved how Roe takes us through Saye’s privileged life, the kidnapping, and then the aftermath, healing from the trauma. There were times I had to put the book down and come back to it. The story evoked a large range of emotions in me, sadness, horrified, hopeful, and anything in between with tears. Towards the 60-70% mark, the book is almost impossible to put down. The author really researched this subject well, you can feel it in the writing. The characters were fleshed out in multifaceted depth, with mystery, they were intriguing, and creatively developed. The author’s writing style was complex, suspenseful, dark, yet disturbing, and absolutely kept me engaged throughout the storyline. I loved the way that Roe suspended time throughout this story, not only confusing me, but also the MC, it was really brilliant. If I had to use one word to describe this book, it would be masterpiece. While it is long, it does not feel that way. This publishes next week and I highly recommend picking up!
