ARC Review: We Are All The Same In The Dark

 

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.

Heaberlin's book Black-Eyed Susans was one of those glorious surprise books for me-a book where it sounded like one I would really like, and ended up being one I loved enough that I purchased my own copy so I could have it on my shelves. 

We Are All the Same In The Dark had that same kind of magic for me.

Heaberlin tells the story of lost girls and the places and men that surround them. Trumanell disappeared a decade ago, and her unsolved mystery is almost worshipped by people in town and online. Odette is a police officer reconciling how well she truly knew and knows those she has let into her life, while laser focused on being the one who finally finds Trumanell. And Angel, the one-eyed girl found in a field of dandelions, may not want to be found at all.

This is a highly suspenseful story full of secrets, where you never quite feel like you know what is coming next, which I love. About halfway through the book a huge twist happens, that was so perfectly executed. Heaberlin is absolutely incredible at keeping readers guessing, but also keeping all her twists in character and perfectly aligned with what has come before. The ending twist was absolutely incredible as well and completely shocked me. I absolutely recommend this book and this author.
