This Darkness Mine

by Mindy McGinnis

Brittany Pressley (Narrator)

Sasha Stone knows her place--first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her oxford-wearing boyfriend. She's worked her entire life to ensure that her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved. But suddenly there's a fork in the road in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, and her skin misses his touch even though she's never known it. Why does he act like he knows her so well--too well--when she doesn't know him at all?

Reviews

[Pigpen.Reads]

I went into this book expecting an amazing thriller, I also kept in mind that this was a YA thriller .

With that said, it was pretty good. My mind was blown a few times. That's something I look for in a thriller.

I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't get queasy over blood.

I... have no idea what to make of this book. This may be one of the hardest reviews I have written. I feel bad because I want to say more, and I feel like this review won't even be helpful, but I am going to do my best. Here are some things I can tell you about my experience with this book:

• It's very dark, and quite twisted. The title doesn't lie, this is not going to give you a case of the chuckles.


• I read this book in one day, which means I was unable to put it down. This is a rarity for me, so it says a lot about the author's ability to lure a reader in, for sure!


• I was/am/always will be kind of confused? Like- I get most of the story, I do. But I am not wholly sure of everything, and I am kind of a more concrete thinker and I want someone to tell me, firmly, what the hell happened.


• No seriously, this was messed up. In a mostly good way. I think.

Bottom Line: If you like books that don't shy away from the dark stuff, and that also may leave your mind reeling a bit, this is the book for you. Mindy's writing is on point as always, and the book is absolutely addictive. I'm just not sure I know what even happened.
