There Is No Devil by Sophie Lark
challenging
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
3.5
The first 25-50% of this book was not my cup of tea but it really picked up in the last half and I enjoyed the more thriller elements and less of the weird back and forth psycho romance nonsense (sorry, their relationship is a little odd).
I think the longer we get to see Mara and Cole grow as characters, I liked them both less. I’m not sure why but Mara’s personality gets on my nerves.
But, like I said, the last half of the book was great so it really brought it all together well and made up for a little bit of the weird vibes.
