Book Review: Tarryn Fisher - Mud Vein (published in 2014)


I wish someone warned me this wasn't a dirty romance book. I never read such book, but I craved one. I saw the cover; read the blurb; picked it up and actually got a completely different book than I was expecting. 

It's wordy, it's deep, it's also not. 

Senna, a reclusive writer, wakes up locked in a house with an ex. She doesn't know who has locked them up together and while they struggle to survive, she tells us her life story. 

There are so many elements to the book I didn't enjoy. The thing it lacked most of all for me were accurate emotions. In the sense that I'm sure the emotions described in the book are accurate, but I couldn't identify with any of them. It's not how I think, it's now how I live my life. 

Quotes like these had me rubbing me head: "I kiss the man I lie to. He kisses me with truth. I am set free."

I'm sure it makes sense, but not to me. I'm sorry, this book is not for me. 

In the mean time, I still have a craving for a smutty romance novel but I'll guess I'll move on to more serious books next
