Dark in a shock value sort of way, not in a mysterious way. Started out with a really intriguing premise and quickly devolved into detailed descriptions of
Spoilergraphic bad sex, child abuse, child murder
and a predictable and boring "twist" at the end that basically felt like the author assumed the reader was a complete idiot and needed everything explained in mundane detail. You know what they say about jokes? Same goes for suspenseful plot twists. If you have to explain it, it's probably not very good.

Pretty decent book, liked the plot twist towards the end, but the writing is somehow both convoluted and simplistic. 

One of the best pieces of writing advice is to trust your audience. And while I appreciate the spoon-feeding to a certain extent, there comes a point where it’s a bit excessive.

Overall, I recommend reading it. Just not at the top of your reading list.

I couldn't put this book down I mean the characters were all so interesting and at the end I still don't know what to think. This book is creepy, thrilling, and very tense and dark. It's definitely a psychological thriller.
