Darker Still by Leanna Renee Hieber

3.0

The writing was satisfactory, the plot predictable. Somehow Oscar Wilde seemed wasted as an inspiration. I admit I was fascinated with the element of elective mutism in the protagonist's profile, but again, it was a novel idea that dwindled over time and became superfluous and even somewhat irritable. After making it such a dominant trait of the protagonist, she just decided that she would start speaking one day all of a sudden. What's up with that?!
