What I liked:
✨Cults themes
✨Serial Killer named Father Silence and the potential copycat killer, Outcast
✨Police procedure: imperfect detective dealing with past trauma
✨Multiple versions of Noah
Where I struggled:
✨Large Cast - I found keeping track of all the characters while listening to the audio a little challenging.
✨Ending: A lot happens in a short span of time, which made me replay the ending twice to fully grasp it. I’m not sure I fully understood it all.

Lots of twists and turns, and some felt a little too far-fetched for me. But the story kept me interested and the ending made sense.
I think this was a case of a reader not realizing how much they dislike a genre. If you’re a horror lover, pick it up and try it. It has good reviews. I learned about half way through that while I love thrillers, I do not in fact love horror books.

~2.5 rounded up. Still a little unsure how I felt about this book, I think the whole cheater Justin thing really got swept under the rug and one punch didn’t settle his debt for me. There are still quite a few unanswered questions for me and I definitely thought the book was going to go in a different direction, but overall generally okay but not nearly as spooky as I was anticipating!
Man, I need to get a dead bolt for my door after reading this.
I love the horror and psychological thriller aspect of this. Copy cat killers fascinate me, as it inherently goes against the narcissistic need of serial killers. So, when I got the chance to read this book that examines not just a copy cat killer and how it terrifies people, but also the trauma of living after a serial killer terrorizes your town, I jumped on it. This book left me feeling really creeped out and scared, I had to lock my doors three times before I went to bed.
Thank you Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for the ARC of this book!

This book had ZERO chill... and I loved it.
There were layers and layers to this, with barely any breathing room (in the best way possible).
Hidden secrets, kidnappings, murders, cults, OH MY!
If you want a fast-paced, full-of-action, spooky read, Sleep Tight is the book for you!
I listened to the audiobook of this, and loved the narration! I look forward to more spooky reads similar to this in the future!
4 ⭐️ (solid read)
