My Thoughts:
Dark River was gripping and captivating. From the first page to the last, I was sucked into this story. It has been a while since a good mystery/thriller has captivated me like Dark River did.
This was an extremely emotional story, that left me in tears. I was fully invested in Ronnie's search for the truth. As Ronnie searches for the answers behind Karen's death, she ends up with more questions and secrets than she would have liked. But as her search continue's, Ronnie stumbles across some horrible truths.
I loved every minute of this book. It was absolutely riveting and well written. You will have a hard time not being entranced with this amazing mystery.
