Going Dark by Melissa de la Cruz
dark
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
2.5
It wasn't good. It wasn't bad. I guess it just was. For being a mystery crime style novel, it didn't really feel very mysterious.
The storyline is on the sad side, but I feel like the characters never made a connection to the reader, so you of course feel bad for the characters, but not enough to really mean anything.
Crying score: Wasn't compeling enough to cry.
