the first few chapters are boring.... there are many times that I tried to put it down and not finish it. Then the flashback started and it became intriguing and have to finish it because I want to know who placed her there with Isaac.
The book is written ok, but it is very dark and deep.

This one jumps in you, it roams around in circles on your brain like a dog on a bed until it finds the perfect spot and settles in.
You are not going to be able to understand much less relate to Senna unless you are a little broken yourself. She is that broken piece that we all have only that's all she is, just that one broken part. Imagine if you never rebounded and bounced back from your first heart break, you never regained your voice after losing it for the first time, that first broken bone never healed. That is her, just broken. Isaac is a myth, I was half expecting this to end like Fight Club and Issac was just a figment of her imagination. He showed up, did all the right things and that’s why he’s a myth, a figment of a girl's imagination. Terryn never disappoints (well I’m not including Never Never so don’t think about that one) can’t wait to see what disturbances she has in store for us.

Being the first book I have read by Tarryn Fisher I was a bit skeptical about how it would turn out. I was surprised to find that not only was it so well written that I could not put it down but it is one of few books that I immediately wanted to read again. I found Senna and Isaac's story completely addicting. The way they met and how their relationship develops is complex and slow. after losing each other they are forced back together by an unknown kidnapper. They are forced into painful memories and torturous situations. With a twist that you will not see coming this book is full of suspense and a twist you will not see coming. Tarryn makes you feel every emotion with her characters. Reading Mud vein you hope for the usual happy ending that usually comes at the end of a story. There is no happy ending for Senna and Isaac. Happy ending or not you will fall in love with their story and you will not be disappointed. it is well worth the read and you will fall in love with Tarryn Fisher in the process. I highly recommend reading Mud Vein and anything else Tarryn Fisher writes.

I seriously don't know how to feel about this book. On one hand, I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't figure it out. I would think I know the answer, and bam- nope sorry, you have no idea. On the other, Mud Vein has an emotionally fucked up everything. I say everything because the characters (all of them), the villain, the plot, pretty much everything is twisted. Not only does Senna wake up not in her own home, locked away in some cabin in the woods, but she must put all of it aside to try to figure out how to escape. Everything is connected, but after 33 years of a fucked up life, some things are buried. It's the minds way of protecting you, allowing you to forget how life can be so cruel, but those memories hold the key to her freedom.

this book was nothing like what i expected. it was WAY deeper and more intense. so good. wow. a real journey into the mind, and heart, and soul. i can honestly say i've never read anything like this.
this was my first book from tarryn fisher, but it most certainly will not be my last.

If I am being completely honest this book was more to the border of hate for me than it was on the side I liked it. I hated Senna, Isaac was quite okay, but still quite gray and catatonic for my taste. The plot overall was quite gripping, but frankly bizarre and not relatable. The language on the other hand was on some parts quite brilliant. I don't know really what made me read it all, probably my obsession of never leaving books started off. There was too much depression seeping out of the pages and even though it had somewhat happy ending I felt that Senna still deserved a bit more good stuff happening to her.
