Into the Darkest Corner

Product Information

Cathy’s relationship with Lee seems good to begin with, but as his true self starts to emerge, the more she is pushed into the darkest corner. No character is fully fleshed out as a person, rather, they are one dimensional horror film victims, predators, or merely devices.

I listened to the audio version that is narrated by David Thorpe and Karen Cass who do an awesome job. Into the Darkest Corner is a very well done psychological thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. This might sound like a paraphrased repetition of my previous point, but the narrative isn’t well-balanced in terms of being engaging and believable. I loved this book and would happily recommend it to my female friends both as a brilliant psychological thriller and an interesting window into the world of OCD and obsession. She’s a freaking trooper, and four years later she’s lucky to be walking the Earth, all trust issues, anxiety, and OCD aside.I have to thank the lovely Keertana for putting Into the Darkest Corner on my radar because I thoroughly enjoyed the thrilling ride! I'm not putting that in a spoiler tag on purpose, because I think it's good to know what you are getting into when picking this up. The main character, Catherine Bailey, tries to overcome her trauma in the present while still dealing with the scary fact that her ex-boyfriend, Lee, who almost killed her is still very much alive.

The two different time periods are written in a slightly different format showing the chilling tale of a woman slowly slipping into her darkest corner, then showing her trying to recover from all the damage.

Four years later, Lee is behind bars and Catherine—now Cathy—is trying to build a new life in a new city. Lee is presented as everything a young woman could want: good-looking, sexy, sweet, romantic and great in bed. I’m glad that she found love and happiness in the end with that guy but how great would it have been if he was in on it with Lee and was helping to make her think she was losing her mind? But, Lee is a master manipulator and soon drags Cathy kicking and screaming into a relationship of lies, fear and hate.
