Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! This wasn't my cup of tea. I couldn't connect to any of the characters and the story simultaneously seemed rushed and immobile. The blurb intrigued me but, didn't hit the mark.

Synopsis: A series of haunting nightmares draws five former residents of a New York City high-rise back to their one-time home. But this is not a reunion. These five strangers have never met. But they are connected. The depressed photographer with telekinetic abilities ... the paralegal who reads evil thoughts of strangers ... the struggling author who can predict dark futures ... the malicious hypnotist ... the witch's daughter ... They have met in their dreams, and they have observed the shadows who follow them until they awaken. Now they want answers. And when the five board the same elevator at the same time, an ominous reality surfaces. They did not return on their own. They were drawn back. Drawn by their nightmares. Drawn by darkness. Drawn ... to be collected.
This book had great potential but was hard to keep me engaged and to follow. The beginning was a bit confusing and it had good parts to it but I felt like it was too long and dragged on. I loved the plot and the last couple chapters were the best part of the book. 3 star rating from me.
Thank you NetGalley and Eric Woods for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you, Eric Woods and NetGalley, for the ARC. I leave this review voluntarily and happily. Also, thank you publishers for your hard work!
This book was definitely a strange one. It's in my top ten for sure. I'll admit that when I first started reading, I was confused and had no idea where it was going, but I'm glad I kept on reading. This was a good read and certainly is not like other books I've read. The ending isn't exactly satisfying, but it doesn't leave you angry. It does leave you wondering if there is going to be more later on.
There are five very different individuals coming together to the same building. They each have different abilities, abilities they somthing very much desires to collect. An evil so old that wishes to escape and continue to cause pain and suffering as it collects more and more to become all powerful. These five people are all that stand in its way from escaping. Can they stop it, or will they only aid in its freedom?
If not for the confusion at the beginning and the ending of the book, I'd have enjoyed this a lot more. But not every book is going to have a happy ending. That's just how it works.
