Book Review: When Darkness Consumes by CM Radcliff

I really didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book. Radcliff was a completely new author for me and she did not disappoint. 

This book is a lot darker than I was expecting. It even made me squirm at times. However, the darkness wasn't just thrown in carelessly, it served a purpose. I hate when I read books that just throw in dark parts in just for the heck of it. Radcliff did not do that. It was necessary for the story and her plot.

Lydia and Ryder give me serious whiplash with their emotions and relationship. By the time they finally figured out what the heck they were doing the crap hit the fan. It made me so sad for Lydia to discover everything she did. 

Lydia--in a girl that is surrounded by darkness. She has had an incredible tragedy hit her family and in the midst of that she meets Ryder. 

Ryder--is just a dark as Lydia for similar reasons and even though those reasons should keep him away from Lydia but he can't resist her. 

The book left me broken in the end for both Lydia and Ryder for different reasons. They both deserved so much better than what they had suffered through. I'm hoping book two will bring everything back together. Overall, this book was well written and intriguing. I would recommend this book especially if you don't mind a little darker subject matter.
