I don’t know how this author does it. Somehow she takes the darkest of humanity and makes it something I want to read.

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

Karin never fails to amaze me with her writing style which makes you feel disturbed and alarmed when reading. The plot was rather dark in subject matter making it gruesome in some cases along with adding some twisted details than it already is.
