A little behind on reviewing this.

I had 100 pages left in this book and there was no way I could leave it behind until I got back from my vacation.
One of, if not the best psychological thrillers I’ve read all year. There’s really no mystery (we know from the start who the bad guy is), but this tale of Catherine/Cathy during her relationship with Lee and 4 years later, really gets in your head.

Wow! I was shocked to learn that this was the author's first novel. It was one that totally messes with your head, I dare you not to check your locks at least twice while reading it. The characters were so well-developed and the plot was so engaging.

Mantiene la tensión desde el principio hasta el final. Quizás esperaba más por las buenísimas críticas que había leído. Aún así, me ha gustado. Lo recomiendo.

Spoilers ahead******
This book took me too long to finish. Because it was so powerful, each page just pulled me deeper into the mess.
The goosebumps that I got when Lee turned villainous for the first time didn’t go away until the last page. This book is definitely not for everyone. Those rape scenes are gut wrenching, and written so well that you feel like its happening in front of you.
The last scene was the highlight. Lee is by far the creepiest psychos that I have ever come across.

Elizabeth Haynes is an incredible writer from the UK. Into the Darkest Corner was the first book I read from her, and I have been obsessed ever since.
This is the third or fourth time finishing this book, and it still had me on the edge of my seat! I love that Haynes has the time jumps between events.
As an abused girl, and as a recovering girl. The story plans out perfectly, and you never learn too much at once keeping you enthralled in the book.
Haynes did wonderfully in this story, with trauma and a twisted love story that leads to a temporary happy ending- leaving you to wonder what will come next.
