A History of Wild Places

„Silence can hold a thousand of untold stories.“ „Maybe this is love, the things we endure for the other, the willingness to face death, to stare it down, and not to be afraid.“ „A lie is a lie is a lie. It tastes the same when it leaves your throat, regardless of intent.“ „We all leave markers behind - dead or alive - vibrations that trail behind us through all the places we’ve been.“ „Because love is madness and blindness and deception.“ „Death has a way of leaving little breadcrumbs, little particles of the past that catch and settle and stain.“ „There is no history in a place until we make it, until you live a life worth remembering.“

I absolutely loved The Wicked Deep. I remember that the atmosphere was just so fucking unique. The author just has such a big talent of creating an eerie atmosphere in her stories. She immediately draws you in. The writing is just so vivid and lush! The plot itself was intriguing and kept me engaged but unfortunately, the plot twist was a bit predictable. Adding to that, I just couldn't connect with the characters at all. They fell a bit flat. However, the mood was just so phenomenal, I kept reading. Even though the story wasn't as good as it was in her debut novel, I will keep following her work.

3.5 Very slow start for me. Really had trouble getting into the book but it picked up about halfway into the story. Definitely interesting concept.
