I was pulled into this immediately - the writing is very engaging and really captured my interest and attention.

.

Yes, it did give me influenced by Stephen King (in particular, it reminded me in ways of Hearts of Atlantis {the bit about memories particularly, and later occurrences} was brought specifically to mind during my reading) and that’s enjoyable for fans of King’s writing and stories, but it’s wholly its own story -  the masterful power of the plotting and writing of the author that keeps you reading. 

.

This was my first time reading the author, either under his actual name, or his pen name, and I’m already looking forward to reading more 📖😊

.

I’ve read a lot of enjoyable books over the past few months but none of them engaged me as much as this did - I was completely under the spell of this tale. This hooked me from the very beginning and kept me turning the page and was an amazingly fun read.
