On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel
Did not finish book.
DNF @ 34%
This book is excessively dark and bleak, and when a danger noodle (that's right, I don't even like saying/typing the actual word, that's how bad my phobia is) showed up, I was like NOPE! I'm done!
At 34% in they haven't even BEGUN to think about or investigate what happened to the first murdered girl that was found.
Pet peeve: Why is the lipstick on the [US] cover not the same as the way they way their lipstick in the book? (One paints her top lip, the other the bottom lip - not halved vertically as in the cover image).
That being said, at 10% I noted that the author has a very poetic way of writing, and then just now I find out that Tiffany McDaniel is an actual poet. I guess that makes perfect sense then! Her writing style is really beautiful, but I just couldn't get into the bleak story. It's pretty brilliant juxtaposition actually, to have such beautiful writing and wording, for such a sad, dark story.
