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.

Book Review: Marrow by Tarryn Fisher

This book is definitely unique. I'm still not sure what happened. Margo Moon is a the prostitute's daughter. Her mother can be harsh and uncaring, similar to the place she calls home. Margo moves from the shy girl not wanting to be seen to a strong girl that is wanting to dish out poetic justice. As she moves through the book she starts to act on her instincts of justice. Some of the scenes will make you want to cringe as well as cheer her on. The people that receive her poetic justice are more than deserving of it but the idea of taking a life is also a hard thing to embrace. I don't blame her yet I do. It's very confusing and it makes you think about what you would do if you were in Margo's situation.  Move forward in the book some more and you find that she is suffering from a mental disorder. She has made up certain people in her life, or has she? I don't completely trust her doctor either and if you've read Mud Vein then you know why. I never could re...
