Sleepless by Louise Mumford
3.0
This wasn’t what I was expecting at all!
Going into this I assumed Thea would take part in a sleep trial, come home after being ‘cured’ and then she would experience strange things happening…..that’s not how it went at all.
This is definitely more of a dystopian psychological thriller which was a little gruesome at times. The book is set during the entire sleep trial where you a thrown into this crazy whirlwind experiment of sorts. There are hints of ghosts and then pretty early on in the book you find out what is happening and from then on it’s this creepy cat and mouse chase.
There were a few niggles, such as the chapters with Thea’s mum. I didn’t quite understand why they were included as I didn’t feel they added to the story in any way.
Once you discover what is going on it is fast paced and whilst it wasn’t what I was expecting it was still an enjoyable and quick read. The ending was great though and gave me chills!
