The Cruel Dark
by Bea Northwick
So when I read the blurb was this I was like yes absolutely, sounds very Crimson Peak inspired! And on that it delivered, perhaps a little too much. I felt like I had already read the story as it unraveled. I’d picked out parts of the ending but I’m glad some parts felt a bit different but all in all it just felt too similar for me.
I liked the relationship with Millie and Callum and how all the pieces fit together in the end to finish the story. The gothic tone was there and the spook factor was great. I think if I didn’t already know Crimson Peak this would have absolutely hit the mark for me!
Thanks to NetGalley for the arc! All opinions are my own honest ones.
