I went into Dreamland expecting something completely different — more Five Nights at Freddy’s meets Final Destination. But the story I got wasn’t a disappointment at all. Fear was the true driving force here, and the kills that did happen were creative and brutal in all the right ways. The ending leans a little nihilistic, but it fits perfectly with the tone of the book. It’s a reminder that not everything is what it seems, and not every story needs to follow a predictable path. Overall, a surprising and satisfying read that definitely left an impression.

Dreamland is the next innovative Disney World that seeks to launch park patrons into the stratosphere of their imaginations. However, presences within the new, high-tech park (human or otherwise) have other plans. Feeding, killing and laundering are all on the menu! Who or what is behind everything?
A team of employees sense mortal danger for themselves and their park guests and race against the upcoming opening day to stop the park from going disastrously sentient.
The story was great and fast-paced with relatable characters. It did run into some slow points during the middle, but certainly kept me hooked to the “F***-it-all!” ending. I did feel there was a great deal more potential to be had in a story that could REALLY get nuts. However, creative guard rails keep the story neat and clean, giving off a teasing PG-13 execution when it should’ve gone a hard R.

This story had potential. However, in the end the various plot lines faultered and the ending was just plan feeble.

Themepark run by robots (think Westworld) and the evil that resides there. Great moments in this book.
