Calix Leigh-Reign's "Opaque" is a riveting journey into the depths of human psyche, where secrets lie buried beneath layers of deceit and desire. From the first page to the last, the author weaves a tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, eager to unravel the mysteries that shroud the protagonist's past.

Leigh-Reign's prose is as mesmerising as it is evocative. With vivid descriptions and poetic language, the author brings the world of "Opaque" to life, immersing readers in its dark beauty. From the atmospheric setting to the intricate plot, every aspect of the novel is meticulously crafted to captivate the imagination.

While "Opaque" excels in many areas, there are moments where the pacing may lag slightly, and certain plot twists may feel predictable to seasoned mystery readers. However, these minor flaws are overshadowed by the overall strength of the narrative and the author's undeniable talent.

With its masterful storytelling and unforgettable characters, it's a novel that lingers in the mind long after the final page is turned.
