The Dissonance: A Novel by Shaun Hamill
5.0
I have to say this is my second novel/story by Shaun Hamill and it’s easy to say he is becoming a favourite. My First was his Conan short story Lethal Consignment. The Dissonance was a gripping read that I became fully engaged with, within the first page.
The more I read the more captivated I became. Being a 90s girl and a horror fan this did give a bit of a The Craft or IT vibes but then sort of melded into Dreamcatcher all while being completely original. The main thing that drew me in was the tone and atmosphere of the novel, followed closely by the characters.
I never like spoilers as we know so I won’t go into great details but I will say that this is probably one of the best dual timeline novels I have read in a while. I also liked how Hamill manages to combine these two lines together but leaves a few little strings loose so potentially we might see the characters in the future.
If you enjoy horror and fantasy this one will be for you. I will definitely be looking into Hamill’s other works now since everything from the atmosphere to the writing and characters were brilliant. I could hardly put this one down.
Thank you so much to Titan Books and Netgalley for my copy. My review is left voluntarily and is honest.
