The Shadows by Alex North

4.0

oh wow! the premise of this book was just amazing!! I remember being obsessed with lucid dream in middle school, so reading this feels like going back in time with my classmates talking about how it would be really cool to meet each other in one’s dream lol. annndd…. ofc it wasn’t as exciting as we ever thought. while the idea of controlling your dream sounds really cool, this book showed us how creepy that would be.

this book packed with a lot of stuff inside and I do think the author executed everything really well. we have dual pov here with back and forth timelines that kept me intrigued to know what will happen next and what had happened in the past. also don’t forget with some twist that you never thought will come.

oh and some people said that Amanda’s pov (our detective) wasn’t really necessary but I do think that her part gave us another interesting view to look forward.
