Review Sanguine
Oh my goodness, Sanguine completely blew me away! Five stars isn't even enough to express how much I loved this book. From the very first page, Ryen Santana sucked me into Jack's chilling confession, a narrative so compelling and unsettling that I practically devoured it in one sitting. The blend of supernatural horror and psychological thriller is masterfully done; the demons and shadowy forces are terrifying, but it’s the uncertainty surrounding Jack himself that truly kept me on the edge of my seat. Is he a monster, a victim, or something far more complicated? Santana keeps you guessing, expertly weaving a web of doubt and suspicion that unravels slowly, painfully, and brilliantly.
The descriptions were vivid and visceral; I felt the creeping dread alongside Jack, experienced the claustrophobia of his desperate situation, and even felt a touch of his unsettling certainty. The way Santana delves into the darkness of Jack's mind is both fascinating and terrifying. It's the kind of writing that stays with you long after you've turned the final page – the kind that makes you look over your shoulder and question the people around you. This isn’t just a thriller; it’s a chilling exploration of human nature, of the hidden darkness that can lurk beneath a seemingly ordinary exterior.
And the ending! Don't even get me started. It's the kind of twist that leaves you breathless, reeling, and instantly wanting to reread the entire thing to pick up on clues you might have missed. The lingering questions about the true nature of evil and the consequences of our choices are powerful and thought-provoking. The acknowledgement of the victims and the respect shown for their suffering adds another layer of emotional depth to the story, making it all the more impactful. It wasn't just a story about a killer; it was a story about the victims and the devastating ripple effect of violence.
Seriously, Ryen Santana is an auto-buy author for me now. Sanguine is not just a great read; it's an experience. It's a book that will haunt your thoughts and stick with you long after you've finished it. If you enjoy dark, suspenseful thrillers with a supernatural twist, and you’re prepared for a truly unsettling journey into the heart of darkness, then absolutely, positively, read this book. You won’t regret it… though you might need a good night's sleep afterward. Write more, Ryen! Please!
