Horror
Date Published:10-13-2023
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.

MY REVIEW
First of all, I love the concept of this book. Reading the blurb I was like, Yes please!? So I accepted this one for review. It was slightly confusing in the beginning as you are kind of flung flailing into the story. This was my one main complaint with this book, the "cold opening" for lack of a better term (at least my brain can't think of one). But I did continue reading and got used to the shifting perspectives. This isn't a book with one main character but five! I liked that very much. The story weaves and connects with these people and it's an interesting way (if not a little clunky at times) to get the story out.
I did love the plot. I liked the the concept very much and thought it was creepy and interesting as heck. I was intrigued enough to keep reading, and was glad that I did. I had some issues with the ending but I will not go into it so as not to spoil.
All in all, this was an interesting book. A little confusing at times, but a good story with interesting characters and a creepy plot.
