The Shadows: A Novel
"This is absorbing, headlong reading, a play on classic horror with an inventiveness of its own... As with all the best illusions, you are left feeling not tricked, but full of wonder."
- The New York Times
The haunting new thriller from Alex North, author of the New York Times bestseller The Whisper Man

It took me awhile to get into this one which is surprising since I love horror/thriller novels. I did find the lucid dreaming aspect intriguing, but I did feel like I was always missing something from the plot. I did enjoy this read overall and how the past and the present intertwined with each other throughout the book.
The Shadows is a phenomenal novel! It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time, and when I thought I caught onto the authors secrets of what was happening. The genius turned my world upside down, and left me speechless all with this novel.
Lazy review time! Also it would be hard to not spoil anything while providing details beyond the what's already in the blurb.
Creepy. Twisty. Sad. Hard to put down once I got about 1/3 of the way through. A lot going on but easy to keep it all straight. Looking forward to reading another Alex North book.

The Shadows is a great read about urban legends and lucid dreaming. It reminded me of the Slenderman phenomena of today. The book was written from multiple points of view so you get into the heads of a few different characters. I thought it had a fairly brisk pace and is definitely worth your time. Alex North is becoming a new favorite.
