This Wretched Valley by Jenny Kiefer

dark tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

so this book was disgusting, very much gore and horror (not a bad thing if you're a lover of that!). It read to me like a teen scream, but there wasn’t any…satisfaction? the author was really great with description (as awful as the things she was describing were), but almost all of the characters were unlikeable and the general backstory was eh. the end was pretty disappointing to me. idk I feel like it had potential, but it lacked anything really special. 

I almost wish we didn’t know what happened to them in the beginning, because it made Dylan’s end kind of anticlimactic
