Young Adult Contemporary Romance discussion

This thread is to discuss Mud Vein. This book is not YA, it is NA. Please post spoilers and where you are in the book so everyone can read at their own pace.

I am ready to cry my eyes out!!! Lol

I'm starting this on the 1st...can't wait!

I just read this note by the author on Amazon:

From the Author
Dear Reader...
I am a writer and words are my weapon. I want to hurt you. I want my words to be salt, and I want to pour them into your open wound. I want my words to be jagged pieces of mirror that you can see yourself reflected in. I am a sadist otherwise known as an artist. My books are a call to women who have been doubled over by heartache, bound by boredom, captives of a past that will not let them go, victors of a past that tried to kill them. I have a disease you see, it's called human nature, and I am fascinated by it. So, if you choose to read Mud Vein remember that about me. I'm not writing to entertain you, or to make money, or to have my book propped neatly on a shelf in Target. I write to explore the dark corners of myself, and I want you to come with me. I'm a little bit like you. I think you'll see yourself in the pages of Mud Vein. I haven't told you very much about it on purpose. I want you to go in blind. I want you to stumble across a thought, a sound, a hurt-which you had thought special to you. And realize I have felt them too, someone you have never met. If you choose to read Mud Vein, please don't ask yourself what it says, ask yourself what it means. And once you read my black words, on a white page, e-mail me and tell me your interpretation. I can't wait for your thoughts.

Tarryn Fisher


Wow!!! I can't wait to start, but I'm a little scared. hahahaha

I can't wait to read all of your spoilers and thoughts! I read this last year and, honestly, I'm not ready to read it again. I won't give anything away, but it was an intense read. I had to take breaks and have a nice, fluffy romance to read during them.

You guys have gotten me more excited to read this!!!!

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[okay I have a dozen questions going through my mind, but first I want to mention her survival instinct. Senna is tough and brave. I wouldn't of been able to explore the house i'd be so scared. Second I am dying to know what her and Issac's relationship was. I want to no their history. Side note I don't trust him. What is up with the carousel bed, zippo lighters...is the coincidence her book? (hide spoiler)]

Part 2 Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[I knew she experinced something horrible, so sad but the bleach was awful. Now I no how she met Isaac. He is wonderful helping her, but I still want to know what the carousel is all about and back to the house and how the date openned the door! (hide spoiler)]

Yes, I definitely can tell you have to wait for answers...slow build but a great page turner!

Erika wrote: "Chapter 1...WTF"

I know right!!!!! :O

Chris wrote: "Chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

So I have also finished chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I have tons of questions. Who is the man that Isaac asked her about? If he's married why is he not wearing his ring? Why no asthma pump? Does the kidnapper know something about her health. Also, the wood, why not as much for as long as they have food for? Is the kidnapper counting on them eventually using body heat?!?!?!?? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Erika wrote: "Chris wrote: "Chapter 5 [spoilers removed]"

Chapter 5 comment (view spoiler)[I know all the same questions! I thought about the body heat thing too. Eventually will they have to turn to each other to keep warm... (hide spoiler)]

Ugh..I hate a long time

Nicks book chapter one (view spoiler)[ what the hell?!?!?!? How many stories does this book have? A book with in a book? I can't take it. I need soooooo many answers, ugh. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Ok I just read the blurb that Chris posted from Tarryn. It looks so ominous! But I think I'm going to sit this one out; last month's ugly cry buddy read left me choking for air...

Enjoy this one, ladies! I'll see you on the other side. :)

You guys are cracking me up!

Grace -- I didn't cry during this one. It was just emotionally taxing in other ways.

Yes I have finished chapter 31, and I have not cried once. It's just an emotional roller coaster. If you think,Never Never left you with questions, this one gives you a headache!!!!!! (view spoiler)[ so what the hell, is it Nick, I'm even thinking it's her mother, that's how crazy this book has me. Okay and the love of my life and soul mate...killed me. (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

LOL

So I finished!!!!!! (view spoiler)[ I HATE the ending, you make me suffer and in the end I don't get me happy ending??!!!?!!!??!? I get it, she gets her happy ending, but can't they be together? I did not cry, but I tore through this book!!! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Erika wrote: "So I finished!!!!!! [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Wow! You did tear through it. It took me forever to read because it was so depressing! The ending is what made it so devastating! I couldn't believe I went through all of that and then...nothing. :( (hide spoiler)]

Deanna wrote: "Erika wrote: "So I finished!!!!!! [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

Exactly (view spoiler)[ she realizes she loves him but goes off and dies by herself. What crap!!!!!! (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Erika wrote: "Nicks book chapter one [spoilers removed]"

Arghhhh I agree!!!

Erika wrote: "Deanna wrote: "Erika wrote: "So I finished!!!!!! [spoilers removed]"

Exactly [spoilers removed]"
(view spoiler)[Only Tarryn Fisher could write something this captivating, disturbing and frustrating. I don't think I'll ever forget it. (hide spoiler)]

Just finished Chapter 28 i really haven't cried, cried at all, but a couple times Isaac has gotten me teary eyed. (view spoiler)[This book is so intense I think my head is going explode! She can't just find the food and wood, she has to break her leg while Isaac is dying!!! Now on to the Carousel chapter finally find out the meaning there? (hide spoiler)]

I feel the same way

I'm finished and I did cry with the end, but more emotionally spent from the journey (view spoiler)[I think I am good with the ending. I didn't expect a happy one. Senna character went through one BIG dark depressing journey to her enlightenment. I was so happy to see her feel, love and realize her soulmate, but it seemed so fitting for her story to end on the dark side. Oh, how I love Isaac! What a beautiful person, his story is what makes the ending rough. I want to know that he will be okay and thinking of him makes me cry. (hide spoiler)]

I kind of agree with you Chris, (view spoiler)[ I feel like because she went through so much she should of had some type of happy ending. I also loved Isaac, he was amazing. The fact that he could of left and didn't says so much about what a wonderful man he was. I too would liked to have seen how he ended up. I think I wanted him to have his happy ending, he was so wonderful, and self-sacrificing he should of had his soulmate, There are a lot of emotions with this one (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

I agree, too. (view spoiler)[ Honestly, I hadn't read another one of Tarryn Fisher's books until because they sounded so dark and intense. I need to go back and read them now that I've had time to recover. (hide spoiler)]

No she is a great writer, she just aims for your heart and your mind. I'm still thinking about this one, and I probably will for a long time.

I do agree with you Erika! (view spoiler)[I totally think she deserved a happy ending too! I just think after reading Tarryn's Love Me With Lies serious that she is such a dark writer and Senna's dark character was destined to not have the best ending. I set my mind to expect it, so I wasn't as disappointed. But I love Isaac so much he was a remarkable character and it broke my heart that he didn't end up with his soulmate. (hide spoiler)]

Deanna I want to read F*ck Love!
