Supernatural/Paranormal
Wow! Was this book intriguing. It pulled me in immediately and never let go. Would read a sequel if one was written.
Recommend to anyone interested in paranormal activities like lucid dreaming, or detective stories.
Be aware that the format jumps back and forth between the present and a few months prior.
I am not as fond of this format but it worked well here

Lake 40
This was a page turner, tale gripping scary yet possibly could be reality book. Very tough book to set down. It's surely one you will want to read from start to finish in one sitting. A must read if you are into the supernatural.

Quick, page turner that kept me reading.
Lily is intrigued by the supernatural. Dom is a detective trying to escape any ties to the supernatural. Lily goes missing, and Dom knows this is not an ordinary case. He must use his knowledge and instincts to save Lily even if he puts himself at risk.

It pulled me in!
I normally don’t read this genre but I took a chance and glad I did. I was hooked and enjoyed the twists and turns.

I just couldn’t get into it.
When a book takes me over a week to finish it, it just didn’t hold my attention. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
