She's easily one of the most absorbing characters I've met this year.
Sociopathic, to be sure. But you can't look away.
Blood Sugar is a fantastic suspense portrait of a serial killer. It's not a whodunnit - we know who done what, starting in the first chapter - but a who else. And why!
I'll definitely be watching for more from author Sascha Rothchild. I haven't seen Blood Sugar on social media very often, but I highly recommend giving this lesser-known and tightly-written read a go.

"Blood Sugar" is nothing short of profound and extraordinary.

It felt very wholesome and apart from the 3 dead people, the rest of the characters are a joy to get to know more about!
Ruby is a character that has so much depth and is just as real and raw as any therapists I've read in books before. Whatever perfect notion you had before about a therapist, just throw it out the window. Yes Ruby murdered 3 people in her lifetime but... is she a bad person...? I vote no 😉
