Dark Places
The Contemplation
by Jonathan P. Pruett Sr.
Dark Places kept me engaged to the very end. It defines when you give up, you will not make it. Several people were lost in this case. It is an adversity and a book even when dark, has a message. I would to leave this in places for others to discover.

I’d like to start off by saying that the rating doesn’t reflect on the book. It reflects that I’m not the target audience. I think this book was pretty good. It was kind of a mix between a slice of life and horror, but I’d very loosely put them in those categories as I was unsure as to what to categorise this book in. I said to took me about 20 minutes so I definitely recommend reading it. If you just want to feel accomplished, read it get through it but unfortunately I’m not what the book is marketed for so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I could have I feel like the text was underdeveloped we weren’t getting to know the characters very well. It was a little bit more telling them and showing, and I think personally for me who reads full length novels, it just didn’t have enough detail in the story
