While You Sleep
While You Sleep | Stephanie Merritt
A pacy, chilling psychological thriller, set to reinvent the genre. It begins, they say, with a woman screaming... On a remote Scottish island, the McBride house stands guard over its secrets. A century ago, a young widow and her son died mysteriously there; just last year a local boy, visiting for a dare, disappeared without a trace. For Zoe Adams, newly arrived from America, the house offers a refuge from her failing marriage. But her peaceful retreat is disrupted by strange and disturbing events: night-time intrusions; unknown voices; a constant sense of being watched. The locals want her to believe that these incidents are echoes of the McBrides' dark past. Zoe is convinced the danger is closer at hand, and all-too-real - but can she uncover the truth before she is silenced?

I didn‘t connect fully with this story. The prose and atmosphere were great, but the twist was pretty easy to spot and the ending fell flat for me. Still, lots of promise. Would love to check out more of Merritt‘s stuff.

I was completely sucked into this gothic story and found it very creepy and unsettling. Some of the secrets were easy to figure out, others came as a surprise. I was really disappointed in the ending though. The big reveal and climax was the plot point that, to me, was obvious from the get go and the rest of the mysteries remained murky or were hastily dealt with. It‘s too bad because I thought the book was really well written in many ways.

Starting this one. I‘ve been on a bailing streak, with only one novel finished lately so here‘s to hoping I enjoy this one! #24B4Monday So glad I checked Litsy in time to catch this #readathon, ‘cause I‘m always missing them!

BeansPage Awe well you didn't miss this one and we are glad to have you sweetie. Have you heard of the new game we're playing? 5y
athorne @TheReadingMermaid I have not. I‘ve kinda mostly been out of the loop for a while now. 5y

This book was super creepy and if I‘m being honest, a little hard to read alone at night! Loved the story and the romantic gothic element of this story too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

I really wanted to like this but had no interest in what happened while she slept (if you've read it, you might know what I mean)! I definitely wanted historical fiction in the same vein as Barbara Erskine but this one was just not doing it & twist was like so many other reads I've read lately.

Lea Must be the day for bailing....I just bailed on a book and see several others have too 6y

Only a few pages in but hoping for a 'Sleeper's Castle' type story!

LeahBergen This sounds good! 6y

This was quite the read. It's full of twists and turns. You really go on a journey learning about Ailsa and the house's history. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was very good. It's well written and full of drama. Zoe is quite an interesting character. It's clear she's had some rough times and I wasn't sure I liked her at the start but she soon grew on me. You really follow her emotions and the truth about her life is heart breaking.
