Definitely a great teaser and makes me want to get a copy of this book when it comes to read it !

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for this advanced sneak peek !

The prologue and the first chapter really pulls you into the story. I have so many questions did Elliot and Robbie really kills the dead boy

This is engrossing and I need more now! I have never read something so fast and that doesn’t include The Whisper Man. I was scared that the next book would fall flat but it is still intense and everything feels fresh and Alex North is going to climb the charts as the new most wanted author of 2020

A great preview of the Shadows that drew me in. I can't wait to read the whole thing! It was similar to The Chestnut Man in my opinion. Thank you to NetGalley for a free preview in exchange for an honest review.

Yes, just based on this sampler of The Shadows by Alex North I am fully expecting the final product to be a full five star read. And that's just based on the prologue and the first chapter. The first piece of this horror thriller totally reeled me in and I can't wait until I have the chance to really sink my teeth into the story. This little taste has me excited for more.

Alex North knows how to pull you right in. The writing immediately kicks off with a gritty, macabre tone that leaves your heart pumping within its first few pages. Thrilled for what’s in store in this combination of mystery and horror.

It is almost very rare for me to get really excited after reading the first chapter of a book until now. Atmospheric, straightforward and well-established groundwork to keep you wanting for more. I was so delighted to see Detective Amanda Beck again that it was like meeting an old friend you haven’t seen for a while. I cannot forget The Whisper Man because t’was the second Suspense Thriller book that I got late last that made me realize that I’m smitten with this particular genre as well. Certainly looking forward to when this book comes out.

From the contents if this sampler (Prologue and 1st Chapter) I'm already drawn in. I will definitely be picking it up so I can finish the story.

I can't believe it stopped there! I was so hooked by the first chapter and was desperate to carry on and read the rest! From what I have read, it seems like the perfect book for me. Chilling and exciting with a really unusual start. I am interested to find out what happened in the years between the murder and present day and where the story will lead.

First of all, what's with Alex North and creepy hand print!. I so love his covers and can't get enough of them!

I know that this is just a chapter sampler with the prologue and first chapter. But it has only increased my excitement for the book to be released so that I can devour it in one sitting.

We get a tiny glimpse into the life of detective Amanda Beck, one of the important supporting characters in North's previous book, The Whisper Man. And I can't wait to get to know more about her.

Much thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for the free digital sampler.

This little chapter sampler has certainly whet my appetite for ingesting the remainder of the book. I loved The Whisper Man, so am excited for this!

I’m really looking forward to reading more of this book. This sounds so great. Supernatural and dreams...100 percent interested.

I received a chapter to review of The Shadows in exchange for an honest review. This book already has me hooked in the first chapter, and I cannot wait to get the whole book! It is a thrilling read set to hit shelves in July. Chapter 1 already had a lot of blood and gore, so if that is your thing, then check out this book!

The chapter sample was strong. I am looking forward to this book and will be ordering it for the library.

Intriguing and unsettling--this sample propels the reader to the abrupt chapter ending and makes the reader anxious for more. This is not my type of book; I'm not much for horror, but this sample will certainly draw horror fans in.

It's hard to judge a book by its first chapter, but the way that that chapter ended, DAMN. I definitely plan on picking this one up once it comes out.

Also the cover art is AMAZING, I am absolutely in love with it.

I hadn't realised it was only an excerpt from The Shadows, aka The Shadow Friend, so I'm not sure how to review it.
However, the couple of chapters that were provided were definitely gripping, and I will be reaching for the full novel.

These first few chapters really set up the Shadows to be a thoroughly creepy book! I did notice that the chapters are quite longer than the ones in the Whisper Man.

I was lucky enough to receive a physical ARC from the publisher, but when I saw this sampler I knew I wanted to provide any good feedback I could.

This one confused me for a few chapters at the beginning (so many characters), but now I am humming along and it's really grabbed my attention!

It's similar to The Whisper Man, but also very different. I may end up liking it more!

Whisper Man was a fantastic book. This one looks even better. Alex North is a fantastic writer. Really looking forward to this release as the chapter sampler I read was fantastic.
