halynah's review against another edition
As much as I loved Love me with lies series, this book didn't click with me. My main issue - Senna, exceptionally non-likeable character. Queer plot too. I couldn't even manage to finish the book, which is very rare for me. I just didn't care for Senna, and found her tedious. Disappointed.

Senna wakes up locked in a secluded cabin with someone she used to know, in the snow, surrounded by an electrical fence. She has to face her past to find clues to decode why they were taken so that they can escape.
Mud Vein is either for you or it is not. I feel like there is no in between. Tarryn once said this, "I wrote that book for the women who had been that low, that hurt, and that dead inside."
Getting raw with you here, that was me, dead inside when it first came out a few short days before my birthday in 2014. I have since read this book once a year. It's my book, the one that shifted my perspective, the one that healed me ... put balm on my wounds, held me and soothed my soul until I could stand on my own again. (Isn't it breathtaking how much power books hold?!)
This book is layered in themes and hidden meanings, it reaches into the depth of your soul and tugs. It shows you how to love yourself, but also how to let others love you back. Self communication and awareness.
Simply put, it just is. I have every edition made of this book and will continue to cherish it until my last breath. Dramatic much? Yeah, but have we met? Babs here, full of drama and all the extra.

Wow!

There were a lot of twists to this story that I wasn't expecting, which kept my interest. With that said, I was not expecting that ending and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

*edit Nov11/15* I changed this up to a full 5 stars because 3 months later, I still think about this book. I still love it. I am still blown away by it. I still have questions. I still recommend it to everyone. and even though I rarely reread books, I want to reread this one again. it's that fantastic.
4.5/5
wow. This book will tear you open, crawl inside you, wreck havoc on your soul, and you don't want it to leave. I haven't stopped thinking about this book. I don't know when I will.
this book is such a rollercoaster. it toys with your emotions. it sucks you in, and doesn't want to let you go.
I loved how this wasn't a linear story. I loved all the pieces that had to be put together like a puzzle.
I highly recommend this book.

Amazing book! It's different from the books I usually read, and even though it's not entirely focused on the romance, I still liked it a lot. This is my first time reading a book of Tarryn Fisher, and I feel I would like to read more of her work! Great book. :)

Sólo voy a decir: LOL. ¿Qué narices se le pasó por la cabeza a esta mujer?
Ahora entiendo la carta de disculpa que hay justo antes de empezar la historia. EN FIN, las dos estrellas se las merece por cómo escribe, yo creo que no he entendido nada de NADA.

Writing this review is hard. Because this book is like nothing I have ever read. It is heavy, complex, and like a puzzle. For over three-fourth's of the book I was scratching my head trying to figure out what was going on. People would ask me what it was about and I could only respond "I honestly don't know, I haven't figured it out yet" It definitely makes you think out of the box.
When reclusive novelist Senna Richards wakes up on her thirty-third birthday, everything has changed. Caged behind an electrical fence, locked in a house in the middle of the snow, Senna is left to decode the clues to find out why she was taken. If she wants her freedom, she has to take a close look at her past. But, her past has a heartbeat…and her kidnapper is nowhere to be found. With her survival hanging by a thread, Senna soon realizes this is a game. A dangerous one. Only the truth can set her free.
This is not a happily-ever-after story. This book has feelings, the words bleed off the pages. The writing is beautiful, detailed, and executed flawlessly. Tarryn Fisher creates complex and moving characters that have serious emotional hang-ups. They make you feel despite if you can relate or not.
My advice is to just jump in, don't look for answers, and allow Senna to tell her story. Pay close attention, and when all the reasons are revealed be prepared to be shocked. This is an emotionally unforgettable journey. And while I couldn't relate to Senna I found myself rooting for her. I felt myself understanding her and wanting her to heal, love, succeed, and live.
“You’ve been silent your whole life. You were silent when we met, silent when you suffered. Silent when life kept hitting you. I was like that too, a little. But not like you. You are a stillness. And I tried to move you. It didn’t work. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t move me. I heard everything you didn’t say. I heard it so loudly that I couldn’t shut it off. Your silence, Senna, I hear it so loudly.”

I liked the idea of mud vein in the book, but things happened in the story because the author said so. In the end, I felt nothing for anyone and anything as it seemed like everything was built with sand.

Con este libro, o es blanco o es negro. O lo amas o lo terminas odiando.
Puedo decir que lo amé. Es un libro que trajo muchos sentimientos con él y pues simplemente léanlo. Merece la pena. Lo ames o lo odies, merece una leída.
Ayuda mucho también el fantástico modo de escribir de Tarryn Fisher.
