Daisy’s Darkness (Wheels & Hogs Book 6) by D.M. Earl – Review by Rosanna Ingram

Daisy’s Darkness by D.M. Earl
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story packs a huge punch and is full of real-world problems that people deal with every day. The author does it in such way, though, which is respectful and really addresses the issues. You get multiple sides of a story and how it affects them…which I found to be very interesting. The topics discussed in this story include bullying, mental and physical abuse, eating disorders, cutting, suicide, and death.

Daisy is a self-proclaimed nerd that is not cool and has few friends. The friends that she does have, they are a tight knit group. She even has a close family that has her back. However, she is being bullied and tormented at school. She tries to deal with it on her own, without involving those around her. This only leads to her isolating and alienating herself from her support group. She turns to very unhealthy ways to cope with her feelings. As her secrets start coming to light, Daisy is dealt more blows as friends of hers (who are also being tormented by the same group) end up in the hospital after their own ways of dealing with the pain. Will Daisy be able to recover and find herself again? Or is this dark cloud hanging over her going to be too much to bear?

I found the supporting characters in this story to be great for the storyline. I have not read the other books in the series, but I don’t feel like not reading their stories impacted my understanding of this story. To see a group of people rally around one of their own and support them and not judge them made for a good story. I sat down to read this story and finished in one sitting. I was invested in the story and needed to know what would happen.
