Heart wrenching 5 star read!

This is the most agonizing book that I have ever read. I will attempt to express the emotions that have been mercilessly wrested from me.

I am angry
I am sad
I am exhausted

I have once again been consumed by the brutal beauty of Tarryn Fisher's words. And like a true masochist I craved her soul baring lashes, crippled, but still I begged for more. Tarryn strips my soul bare and forces me to see the truth. I saw frightening pieces of myself in Senna, I saw a part of my own soul in her.

"To find that person, to find your soul-piece, or your great love, we must count on our paths diverging, the tangling of lives, the soft whispering of one soul recognizing another."

Tarryn's words kept me desperately clinging, fearing for my own sanity. Every word laced with aching desolation made my heart beats painful.

As I approached the end I felt a sense of dread. Cold sweat, a tingling in my veins. It was not a good feeling.

I was scared of the end, the outcome. It was not the pain that so often came with reading Tarryn's novels that I feared, that was inevitable. What I feared was what would linger after I set the book down. I knew it would stay with me forever.

Mud Vein is hauntingly beautiful. Miss Tarryn Fisher, you have ruined me.

“We are all going to die, but I’m going to die first. In the very last second of my life, I will think of you.
