This Little Dark Place proved to be different from what I expected. I enjoyed the letter format of the book - that always interests me. Yet, there was something missing for me here that kept me from getting completely into the book.

The book jumps around in timelines and that proved confusing as there were little to no transitions to help guide you at times. Unfortunately, I did not find this one very twisty - I had it figured out early on and was not at all surprised by the ending. Personally, I expected more though I did enjoy the 2nd half of the book better - I read that part in 1 sitting.

A good debut - I just wasn't blown away by it. I'd definitely still see what Hatch writes next.

Thank you to NetGalley and Serpent's Tail Books for the opportunity to read and review an arc of this book.
