Jennifer Hillier may just be my new favorite author of thrillers. Things we do in the dark pulls out every emotion you have, shocks you at every turn, and leaves you feeling like you've taken a free fall off a cliff.
The story line of this one was one I thought I knew, I was pretty sure I'd figured out the killer and the relationships before we got there but I've never been more wrong. The psychological warfare that goes on in your mind as you're reading this book is fantastic, there were serious moments of how did I not see that coming but I'm so glad I didn't.
Our characters in this one, can I just say wow, the writing of Paris, Jake, Zoe, Drew, Ruby, such different personalities that all cross paths over and over again just missing the bigger picture. The detail in the story kept me glued to it and I can't believe how well developed our characters were.
I loved the multiple time points of view, it added so much while keeping me from thinking to much about what was going on currently, a masterclass in taking the reader where you want them and not where they want to go.
I so wish I could go back to the start of this one and read it again knowing what I know now, to see if I'd pick up on the little clues, if the moments that made me gasp still would, and if the tears would fall in the same places.
I cannot thank Netgalley enough for this one, I'll be rereading it on the first dark and stormy fall night of the year.
