Book: Oh My Darling: It's Time To Die by Talia Lane
Reviewed by Kayleigh
Rating: 4/5
This story is definitely a step up in the horror department compared to “Hush Little Martyr”. Clementine is wonderfully creepy and brutal, embodying a haunting presence that lingers long after the pages are turned. Her loyalty to her maker is iron clad, a testament to a bond that goes beyond mere creation; it is a deep, unsettling devotion that drives the narrative forward in unexpected ways.
The recurring theme of neglect and trauma from horrible parents runs through this story, with our FMC Ally suffering through trauma that no parent should put their children through. Each instance of emotional abandonment leaves deep scars that shape her character and influence her decisions, compelling her to navigate a world filled with mistrust and despair.
The plot of this story is perfectly creepy and dark, making me want to carry on reading until the very end. The intricate details woven throughout heighten the suspense, immersing the reader in a world where shadows seem to whisper secrets, and every twist leads to unforeseen revelations.
This story really is not for those that have suffered trauma that is connected to SA, as it delves into themes that could be deeply triggering for them. Please check trigger warnings before reading, for the sake of your mental health.
