The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus
5.0
dark mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I read this for the first time almost 10 years ago and it still haunts me in the best possible way.  I think the publisher did a poor job of marketing this, it is definitely NOT the psychological thriller that the blurb makes it out to be. And that's too bad bc I think it has really kept it from finding its audience.
