Those You Killed by Christopher Badcock

5.0

If you like psychological and creepy thrillers, this book is for you! In the beginning we meet Elwood Cathais and all he wants is to get clean. The needle has replaced every good thing in his life. His wife has left him, he has no relationship with his daughter, and his writing career has gone down hill. He takes some time away from his life in LA to try to get sober on his own at Lake Chance. But, of course, Lake Chance has a history plagued with disappearances, murder, and of course - demons. The story starts out a bit slow with Elwood experiencing hallucinations. However, the hallucinations get worse and before you know it, its 3 am and you’re in a tailspin of creepy chaos. I had my theories and thought for sure I had some of the story figured out (I didn’t). I for sure thought Elwood was some crazed killer and he was just experiencing the hallucinations because of his own guilt. One of my other theories was that he was having one of those inception moments.
