The Shadows is a story about a man named Paul returning to his hometown as an adult due to the resurfacing of copy cat murders from his childhood taking place. He has to figure out if the murders are tied together and what's going on. I did like hearing about Paul and his group of friends as they were children. The backstory was intriguing but the detective Amanda's POV was uninteresting to me. Lucid dreaming is a main plot which sounded SO intriguing but the way it was presented didn’t really work for me, unfortunately. I wanted to be scared or creeped out but I didn’t get either of those feelings. I thought the pacing was a bit too slow for me as well. This was not a bad book as there was a lot of potential but it failed to hold my attention. Slow burns just really are not my thing but if you like those then def check this one out if it interests you too.
