" It's your darkness that pulls me in. Your mud vein. But sometimes, having a mud Vein will kill you."
Senna just got her novel published! Then it became a movie! Then she got abducted. She's not alone. Isaac Asterholder is in the house as well. Tied to a bed. She sets him free, and the story begins.
The book is written in three parts. Truly a beginning, middle, and end. It's all there.
My Thoughts
The story left me reeling. Beautiful yet haunting. A testimony of the thin line between love and hate. A writers Ode To love. Written words unspoken.
It's easy to like Senna. You're in her head. Hearing her thoughts. Feeling her every emotion. It's harder to like Isaac. Somthing always feels off about him. The reader is never quite given his thoughts. Just a surface glance at an incredible man by all appearances.
Everything about this book left me in awe. Completely undid me, then put me back together. It's not a typical Fisher thriller nor a true love story. It is a two-headed beast of a read that will live on inside me for years to come. A new favorite.

I really enjoyed the writing style of this thriller novel and was captivated by the storyline almost immediately trying to figure out who kidnapped these people and why. I had a hard time setting this book down and was enthralled. However, the reveal of who was behind the whole ordeal and their reason why didn't make sense to me. There were also several important threads of the story that I feel weren't resolved or had a purpose overall and I was left feeling unsatisfied.

I finished this book last night (3.11.22) and I just…. I literally have no words… this was my first read of Tarryn Fisher and I am just blown away with how this woman writes. This book sucked me in from the beginning. But it was how the story grew and how the characters grew that made me fall in love. This story… I don’t even know how to explain it… a thriller meets romance but not a traditional romance… but it’s all so so complicated and beautiful and messy and ughhhh… This book made me think… gave me chills and tears and tore my heart apart… just read it and PAY ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING.
