It's not a read for everyone.

The story is told from Ruby's pov, from the time she is a little girl that just loves to play in puddles and sees something she shouldn't. Her father cleaning up a crime scene.
Ruby just sees the red color everywhere though and doesn't quite understand what's happening so she starts liking the color red- wanting to play in red puddles, having red rainboots, etc.

You read and see Ruby grow up and how the different things she sees around her affect her, she's a ddady's girl that thinks he can do no wrong though she eventually realizes that her father is a serial killer.

And honestly, the eerie and creepy parts of this book come from seeing the main character's mind as she wraps her thoughts around what she sees and hears.
As Ruby grows up and deals with the world around her, and sees her father growing restless when he doesn't commit murder, she tries to understand what's ‘‘wrong'' and what's ‘‘right''.

This is not a mystery kind of read, this is a book that makes you wonder what our main character is going to do and what will happen to her- every page you wonder what decision she's going to make as you watch her go through every age while knowing her father that she loves is a murderer.
It is well written and keeps you reading for sure.


If you love eerie and dark reads, this is for you.

My rating to this book is because it's not the kind of book for me, but if all of this piques your curiosity and you like those kinds of reads, you will enjoy it.
This is just my personal thoughts on the book.
2.5 stars!
