If you asked me to describe Inferno to you, I’m honestly not sure where I’d start. It is NOT a romance novel, but I’m not sure I’d consider it horror either. Well, at least not traditional horror. Maybe psychological horror hits closer to the mark. I could tell you a lot about what it’s got, and just as much about what it’s not got, but what it is? No doubt about it; Inferno is a mindfuck.

Red pill or blue pill? Should Jocelyn take option A or option B? Is it better to accept her fate or fight, and better for whom? Pater is a genius when it comes to manipulation and Jocelyn can’t help but fall into his traps. But, at the same time, each horror that she endures fuels her with a little more strength, gives her a little more fight.

Olson is a master when it comes to expressing the huge range of emotions that Jocelyn feels and playing with how each of them conflicts. She works in twists that you know you should have seen coming yet still manage to surprise you. I thought I had it all figured out after the first couple of chapters but I was so wrong. Inferno was so much more than I had ever imagined it would be.
