Creepy and Mysterious, but slowly paced

I had such high hopes for this book! This is the first book I have read by Alex North and had heard such great things. I really enjoyed his writing style and I thought the premise was a good one. It was a bizarre tale of a ritualistic murder among friends and one, Charlie Crabtree, who was obsessed with lucid dreams simply vanishes in the woods and is never found. Paul Adams learns that there is a copycat and all the memories of 25 years ago come flooding back.

What I really struggled with was the slow pace and I got really bored really quick. I almost put it down a few times, but I am glad I stuck it out. I did enjoy the ending of the book. This book had all the elements I typically enjoy in a book! It was mysterious and creepy.

It will not deter me from reading The Whisper Man either!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for my gifted copy of this book!
