4.25/5 stars, rounded down. As a lover of Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger, this book gave those vibes. 

The concept of this book was quite intriguing. Ethan discovers the body of a girl who has been missing in his basement with no recollection of how she got there or what happened to her. Ethan is adamant that he had absolutely nothing to do with her death. Ethan does some digging and finds out about someone called The Dream Killer and he does exactly what his name implies. James LaRoche is a scientist who has garnered the ability to kill people within their dreams. 

This was an incredibly psychological book. I wasn't sure what was reality and what was fiction while reading this story and it constantly keeps the reader guessing. This is a book that you really need to pay attention to because otherwise I think it can be easy to get lost and confused. I had to reread a little piece of this book because I found myself heading down that route. 

I thoroughly enjoyed this though! I absolutely loved Nightmare on Elm Street and this book certainly scratched that same itch for me. 

The pacing was great on this book. It started strong and from page 1 we get thrown into the thick of things and it never really lets up. I also thought the characters were pretty complex. I found myself having conflicting feelings on them. 

Thank you to Booksirens and Adam Cosco for the eARC. All opinions are my own!
