The Taste Of Blue Light by Lydia Ruffles

The Blurb On The Back:

What happened to you, Lux Langley, to make your nightmares turn red?

These are the things Lux knows:
She is an Artist.
She is lucky.
She is broken

These are the things she doesn’t know:
What happened after the party.
Why she ended up in hospital.
Why she is dreaming in red and screaming in the dark.

Desperate to uncover the truth, Lux’s time is running out. If she cannot piece together the events of that fateful night and regain control of her scorched and splintered mind, she will be taken away from everything and everyone she holds dear.

If the nightmares don’t take her first.

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Lydia Ruffles’s debut YA literary thriller is a Marmite book because while Ruffles has a gift for description and can turn a beautiful sentence, this story of, essentially, a poor little rich girl whose journey to self-absorbed artistic pretension is interrupted by an event that (once revealed) had no emotional impact on me given that she’s so revolting to her friends and family and because the central conceit doesn’t ring true.

THE TASTE OF BLUE LIGHT will be released in the United Kingdom on 7th September 2017. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the ARC of this book.
