Into the Dark

Reviews

It’s a physically beautiful place from all of the descriptions (and I could clearly imagine it), none more so than the Holden’s cliff-side mansion: Seawings. The most remarkable characters though are definitely DC Saul Anguish and Dr.

Cummins expertly weaves multiple social analysis angles throughout the plot. Fiona Cummins is an author who has the knack of writing excellent books and Into The Dark is no exception.

Loved it. I don’t want to give too much away about them, as they deserve to be discovered firsthand. The house is the physical representation of the Holden’s status, wealth and progression from the past.

This is a novel packed full of suspense, treachery, betrayals, and morally corrupt individuals. A family is missing, they disappeared. All I’ll say, is that I hope they return to another of Cummins’s novels very soon!

They are complex, flawed, confusing and surprising on so many levels, but ultimately they are those rare kind of characters where you simply can’t get enough of spending time with them. I found it fascinating interpreting the underlying significance of this luxurious abode, which is all expensive, flawless surface that glosses over a dark, toxic heart. . There are so many twists and turns you'll soon be wondering which way is up 🎢⠀⠀⠀It's VERY compelling, VERY dark & did I mention it's VERY twisty?

Both seem to hold deep secrets, though Saul reminded me rather heavily of another fictional character named Dexter. Cummins has created an exceptionally plotted, unrelentingly gripping and shockingly unexpected novel.

Cummins pens so many twists throughout Into the Dark though, that my feelings towards Julianne coiled more than a corkscrew. I read it in one obsessive sitting, the unpredictable nature of it kept me hooked. Similarly, Julianne is an enigma and I thoroughly enjoyed trying to figure out her role within the events (needless to say, I was so far from figuring it all out!
