Into the Darkest Corner

I read Into The Darkest Corner on a recommendation from my sister Norma. I am not sure if this would have been one I would've chosen for myself. I am really glad I took Norma's recommendation and read this one.
I found The Darkest Corner to be a dark, disturbing, and interesting book.
The story is told in alternating chapters switching timelines with the before when once lively, fun loving and party girl Catherine meets handsome, charming and mysterious Lee and we follow their relationship as it declines into violence and the after, where we see Catherine is now struggling with OCD and PTSD giving us a good sense of the burdens of both. That made this an interesting read for me. The contrast between the two timelines is cleverly pulled together leaving me feeling very satisfied with the ending.
I recommend to anyone who loves a good psychological thriller but with caution as there is some violence.

Glad you liked it, Brenda!! Very good review :)
Do you feel like this is a literary book at all, or is more like a crime/thriller sort of book?

Okay, thank you much! It sounds pretty awesome either way!

I also want to give you heads up if you decide to read it, I thought it was quite violent and does have abit of profanity in it.

I don't mind profanity and violence, at least not unless the violence is directed towards an animal. I do have a hard time with that!

She forgot this time. Lol. It did end up being a good one for me. I wonder what's going on that reviews are not showing up.

I've seen other threads the passed few days by other readers complaining about not getting current updates, etc. Bugs seem to be cropping up more often.

It was a fantastic read! Glad to hear it was for you too.
