Nine Elms
By Robert Bryndza
Robert Bryndza’s Nine Elms is a book that’s unforgettable. It is full of mystery and horror, yet there’s something interestingly fascinating below the layersof suspense.
The book doesn’t offer traditional scares—it’s not about jump scares or supernatural entities. Instead, it’s a slow, sickening dive into the darkest corners of the human mind, the kind of horror that lingers long after the final page.
While I really liked Nine Elms, this is not a book for everyone to read. It has many scenes that may make even the most brutal horror readers need a deep breath. But for those who love mystery and suspense as genres, this book will be a special and unique experience. It scared me a little, but I just couldn't bring myself to stop.
I also loved the characters, as they had a sense of contrast and a dominating feel. Kate Marshall, an excellent detective, goes through a lot of twists and turns to finally get a sense of relief and comfort.
Overall, Nine Elms is a book you shouldn't miss.
