Reviews

[Sandra Wesley]

Jonathan’s descent into a waking nightmare is both chilling and thought-provoking. The author masterfully blurs the line between consciousness and the subconscious, pulling readers into a world where every shadow hides a question, is it real, or just another dream come alive? The tension builds with every chapter as Jonathan’s desperate attempts to control his own mind unravel into obsession and fear.

[Awais Mahmood]

The book was a real page-turner, guessing what could or could not be happening. The characters could have been fleshed out a bit more but for a short read it suffices.
