(I received a free copy of this book, through NetGalley, in exchange for a review).
(This review may contain spoilers).
This book was slightly different to the previous one I read by this author, but I still liked it just as much.
I’ve read and seen a lot of things where phones are used for sinister purposes, whether with a supernatural element or a completely human – if deranged – caller.
Linking in the lucid dreaming worked really well, in my opinion. I’ve been able to control my dreams a couple of times, so I know something of what they were all talking about.
Isa was an interesting character. Alette was, too, to a certain extent. I wasn’t that keen on her in the flashbacks.
Speaking of the flashbacks… they were a bit confusing at times. I wasn’t always sure when one had started.
The idea of dream sharing was quite a unique one and something I would have liked to see further explored. The differences between the dreams Isa and Alette shared as children and those they shared as adults were very clear. The latter were much creepier when they occurred.
I did figure out whose narrative some particular scenes were from, but I wasn’t completely sure, so some mystery still remained. There were also a couple of other things I didn’t see coming, too.
I did have some mixed feelings about the relationship that formed between Isa and Justin. It seemed a little fake at times, but more believable at others.
I’m also not sure how I feel about the ending. I would have liked a bit more clarification and not so much of a cliffhanger for an ending.
I did think the book was well-written with language that was very descriptive at times. As well as the third book I have on my Kindle by this author, I intend to buy and read other books by her in the future.
