Where Darkness Blooms by Andrea Hannah is an atmospheric Midwest gothic that transports readers to the rural, small town of Bishop.
I first fell in love with the book's incredible surrealist cover and the opening prologue where we get the town’s origins completely hooked me in.
However, as the story goes on, the premise itself really strained my suspension of disbelief. For instance, it baffles me that Bo waited two years to investigate her mother’s extremely suspicious disappearance when time is of the essence for a missing persons case.
And then there’s the big plot twist reveal.
Overall, the writing is gorgeous at a sentence level, but the story itself contains way too many glaring questions for it to feel believable to me.
Thank you, NetGalley and Wednesday Books, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
