Kill Your Darlings by Griffin Sheridan, Ethan S. Parker
4.0

I really enjoyed this fast paced, magical, fairy-tale like vicious murdering bloody story all wrapped up in one.

Rose is being raised by her mother at the start of the story but soon in, terrible things happen, and Rose is sent away after someone dies. But as things keep going we're introduced to a magical world in which Rose enters, her fairy tale world she made up. But the darkness following up creeps up and soon all hell breaks loose as a vendetta begins and death comes.

Overall really bright and colorful story with vicious moments, and great themes of loss and trying to fight for a better future. I really enjoyed Rose a lot, as well as her friend/lover. I did think it wrapped up a BIT too nicely but overall it was enjoyable quick read that I say is worth it for fans of things like Something is killing the children and fantasy mixed together.
