A flicker in the dark. Review. (ENG/ESP)

Good evening Hivers how are you? Here I am again to review one of the books I've read lately, A flicker in the dark by Stacy Willingham. The book is a thriller genre and in my opinion it has a truly compelling and captivating team. The book opens with Chloe a psychotherapist and her conversation with a problematic teenager. Despite her job, Chloe still has many unresolved traumas and insecurities and strong fears from which she cannot heal, however she has a relationship with a wonderful man, a protective brother and an excellent job. Unfortunately, however, her past haunts her because she is the daughter of a well-known serial killer of teenagers and has learned since she was a child that monsters exist and that they can be the same ones that live near you and tuck you in.

The book is divided into two parts with various flashbacks where Chloe returns to her childhood, initially innocent and simple in the swamps of Louisiana, then we will see the whole path that will lead her to suspect the father and finally to provide the evidence that will convict him. In the present she struggles with her inner monsters, with her brother who doesn't love her future husband and with herself. Unfortunately, the past will come knocking on her door when a copycat of her father's murders goes back into action, choosing victims who are close to her...

So she will find herself involved again in a spiral of death and darkness, forced to investigate and dig up her past in the hope of finding the culprit in the present. He can no longer trust anyone, not even those closest to him... Will he be able to find the culprit? And what truths will he reveal about his past? I assure you that this book is full of surprises and not at all banal, in fact the ending will definitely surprise you. It's one of those books expertly written to lead you to suspect certain people and it does so masterfully. A very well written classic psychological thriller. I highly recommend it if you are a fan of the genre!

Buenas noches Hivers ¿cómo estás? Aquí estoy nuevamente para reseñar uno de los libros que he leído últimamente, Un parpadeo en la oscuridad de Stacy Willingham. El libro es un género de suspense y, en mi opinión, cuenta con un equipo realmente convincente y cautivador. El libro comienza con Chloe, una psicoterapeuta, y su conversación con un adolescente problemático. A pesar de su trabajo, Chloe todavía tiene muchos traumas e inseguridades sin resolver y fuertes miedos de los cuales no puede sanar, sin embargo tiene una relación con un hombre maravilloso, un hermano protector y un excelente trabajo. Lamentablemente, sin embargo, su pasado la persigue porque es hija de un conocido asesino en serie de adolescentes y ha aprendido desde pequeña que los monstruos existen y que pueden ser los mismos que viven cerca de ti y te arropan. El libro se divide en dos partes con diversos flashbacks donde Chloe regresa a su infancia, inicialmente inocente y sencilla en los pantanos de Luisiana, luego veremos todo el camino que la llevará a sospechar del padre y finalmente a aportar las pruebas que la llevarán a condenarlo. En el presente lucha con sus monstruos internos, con su hermano que no ama a su futuro marido y consigo misma. Desafortunadamente, el pasado llamará a su puerta cuando un imitador de los asesinatos de su padre vuelva a la acción, eligiendo víctimas cercanas a ella...

Así que se verá envuelta nuevamente en una espiral de muerte y oscuridad, obligada a investigar y desenterrar su pasado con la esperanza de encontrar al culpable en el presente. Ya no puede confiar en nadie, ni siquiera en sus seres más cercanos... ¿Podrá encontrar al culpable? ¿Y qué verdades revelará sobre su pasado? Te aseguro que este libro está lleno de sorpresas y nada banal, de hecho el final definitivamente te sorprenderá. Es uno de esos libros escritos por expertos para hacerte sospechar de determinadas personas y lo hace de forma magistral. Un thriller psicológico clásico muy bien escrito. ¡Lo recomiendo mucho si eres fanático del género!

This sure sounds interesting. I’ll see if I can find the ebook. Many people think these psychotherapist are the perfect beings not knowing many of them who help people deal with traumas can’t even deal with their own.
