Fall Into Darkness by Valerie Twombly
2.0
This started off so well. I was so hopeful it was going to be my type of book... but as I kept reading it all started to fall apart.
The story itself was a great idea. The writing was done really well and still kept me hooked but it was the pace of the story that ruined it for me. It all moved too fast to be realistic. Too many big reveals were all happening all at once, some would have even really good cliffhangers to use in a following book. It was like the author wasn't gonna get another chance at taking her time to slowly unravel the mystery and had to get everything all out at the same time within the same breathe.
I would have liked the story to have slowed down a bit and really let the reader stay in mystery for a little while longer. It felt rushed, making the characters' relationships come across as unbelievable, forced and even feel like insta-love.
Otherwise the story idea is a good one and I could see where it's going. :)
Happy reading!!
