DNFing. As in Definitely Not Finishing.

I can not get into this book. I started it almost a month ago at this point and I can only seem to read little by little. I get bored and move to a different book. So I'm officially calling it quits. It's not holding my interesting at all and I dread every time I pick it up.

Maybe I'll give it another shot someday buuuut who knows.

This bitch had layers. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Very unique concept with several twists and turns I didn't see coming.

Solid crime/thriller book. Nothing groundbreaking or too shocking in terms of plot but it still had good reveals and enough tension to keep me going

I think I might have hiped this book up in my mind a little too much. I had highly anticipated it after Whisper Man, and after reading it, I am a little disappointed. Very well written and great ending, but the story its self fell a little flat and dragged on in several spots.
I loved the idea and the plot. I have vivid lucid dreams, and the idea that I could connect with someone in those is fascinating. I feel that what might have brought this book down from a five star to a three was the switching of characters. I preferred reading Paul's point of view over Amanda's narrative side. Maybe if the entire book were written in one form instead of two, it would have flowed a little better.
