Cold Dark Souls by Candace Wondrak
5.0
That escalated quickly
Stella, Stella, Stella. What happened to you?
Have you ever stared into a mirror and said, "Who the heck is this?" Like the person you thought you were isn't who you are? Stella is coming to some truth in this book. It's a gruesome truth. Her mask is slipping, but her relationship with Edward and Lincoln is growing in several directions.
And then there's the Angel Maker, the new serial killer in town. Oh, he's got his eyes on Stella and she's really excited by it...when will he reveal himself? Will his revelation ruin things with her two men?
I felt dirty reading this and yet I continued ploughing through it, because I'm sick in the head. That's the only answer I can come up with. It's made me look in the mirror, too, reevaluating my own chemistry. Perhaps we're closer to being monsters than we realise? I'm not a murderer and I don't sympathise with serial killers at all, but I am interested in why people make certain decisions and wonder if people are born with darkness inside them or if they learn it through experience. That whole nature versus nurture argument.
That's what this book is about to me. If we are filled with darkness, what stops us from being like the Angel Maker? Impulse control? Who knows? I'll never know. This book has really done a number on me and though I'm thinking about reading something sweet now and coming back to this series later...I'm not gonna. Come on, bring on more darkness Candace Wondrak. I'm ready to get dirtier.
