WOW, YOU GUYS. THAT IS THE ONE WORD I CAN USE TO SOME UP MILK-BLOOD BY MARK MATTHEWS. THIS IS A DARK, BLEAK, AND SINISTER TALE OF ADDICTION AND THE TRAGEDY OF A YOUNG GIRLS LIFE. THIS STORY PULLS NO PUNCHES AND IS ALL THE BETTER BECAUSE OF IT. IT’S ALMOST TOO DARK AT TIMES.

THE FIRST FEW CHAPTERS HAD ME PUTTING THE BOOK DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS JUST TO CATCH MY BREATH. THE INCIDENTS IN THIS STORY FEEL SURREAL AND VERY MUCH BASED IN REALITY. I COULDN’T HELP BUT PICTURE THIS REALLY HAPPENING SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE WORLD, WHICH MADE THE EXPERIENCE THAT MUCH MORE HARROWING THE FURTHER YOU GET INTO THE RABBIT HOLE.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK BECAUSE OF ITS BLEAKNESS AND THE DARKNESS AT THE HEART OF IT. IT’S A NOSE DIVE INTO THE WORLD OF ADDICTION AND OTHER HORRORS I DARE NOT SAY UNTIL YOU’VE READ THE BOOK. I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THE TERM MILK BLOOD MEANT UNTIL THIS BOOK, AND NOW I’LL NEVER FORGET IT.

I DON’T BELIEVE I’VE EVER READ SOMETHING THAT MADE ME FEEL THE EMOTIONS THAT THIS STORY DID. FOR THAT REASON ALONE, I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO YOU GUYS. JUST MAKE SURE YOU PREPARE SOMETHING THAT CAN PUT YOU A SMILE TO YOUR FACE SOMEWHERE NEAR BY. YOU’RE GOING TO NEED IT. ~ BY GARRETT WITT
