Dark, depraved, and desperate in places, I would listen to those around you that say pay heed to the trigger warnings. Not really a romantic suspense in my eyes, but too soft to be relegated solely to the criminal suspense genre. It is perfectly written as it is, and I really enjoyed watching BT Urruela's words dancing, and sometimes fighting together on the page with Anne's.

My heart broke, and bled, and cried for those girls. Not just for them though, I cried for the friends they touched, the parents who missed them and wouldn't say goodbye. We all so badly want to take books like this, real life situations like this, and run an eraser over it as if it were a white board and we were fully capable of offering a clean slate and no more nightmares.


Unfortunately as far as we've come in society, some simply don't have to pay any price for the evil $hit they do, and so then it may behoove you to question why the woman in the corner of the bar with the dead eyes is so beautiful it is almost physically painful to look at all her angles and sharp edges. Why does she make you so uncomfortable with her mere presence? Are you wondering what she's thinking? Maybe next time you should.

There's more than one generation of damaged and stolen women passing you calmly, while their souls scream violently at each brush of air on their skin, on the sidewalk each day. 5 brilliant stars for Anne Malcom and BT Urruela's Hush, I hope they collaborate again soon.
