Hmm. It had a good premise and the blurb was really appealing, and to be fair it started well...but then it spiralled off into weirdness and a whole load of stuff that I won’t mention because #spoilers but, for me, it didn’t work! I lost interest, but persisted none the less. I don’t know what to make of it all really. Can’t say I enjoyed jt, sorry.

Not my cup of tea at all!

I was looking for something spooky to keep me company when I was working night shifts but this was more of a maze than a book. It reminded me a lot of the second half of Insidious and I didn’t think the plot was that original.

Once it got into multiple universes and parallel stuff I checked out and couldn’t finish the book because at that point I didn’t care anymore

The well house by M.S Malassa.
This was a good read. I loved the cover and thats what drew me to this book. It was different. I did like Bens character. 4*.

i really enjoyed reading this book, the characters were great and I really enjoyed the plot. I look forward to more horror novels from this author.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this book. I actually loved this book. Creepy and kept my attention all night. I hope this author writes so much more

This book had a very interesting premise going for it. The idea of dreams being a gateway to other planes of existence isn't new but there aren't a lot of book written like this one and I haven't heard of the connection to hell before so at least it was a new idea. As for execution, it seemed more like a dictation than a novel, with little dialogue and a lot of description doing a lot of telling and not much showing. What little dialogue there was sounded formal and unnatural. There was also more religious connections than I was expecting, which was okay.

I love a good horror and this one hit the spot! There is a sense of dread from the first chapter that just builds as the books evolves. I knew from the beginning it would be a good vs. evil play but it was well built throughout the book. There were some times when I felt Ben was rather naive, but it played into the story. If you are looking for a horror story without a lot of gore but still want to be kept on the edge of suspense I'd pick this book up! Can't wait to pick up the next book!

This book kept me intrigued through the last pages, wondering what would happen next; I could hardly put this one down! If you like a good horror and do not mind a lot of religious references, this book is for you. In the battle of good against evil, struggling writer Ben realizes the only way to save his wife Anne who is in a coma and their unborn child is to fight the devil himself. Through a series of recurring nightmares and a medium named Thelma Grippe and her daughter Penelope, Ben is given the chance to save Anne from eternal rest. As her conditon worsens and he is running out of precious time, he gets the tools he needs and goes on an adventure he won't soon forget, along with his trusty canine Sherman.
What I didn't like about this book, it seemed very far fetched at times. There is a scene where his son Tyler has a run in with the black, scaly winged creatures which look like blackbirds, but are actually small demons who turn full sized and more like into men/soldiers and they start to speak to him, telling him "Tell your dad to back off, Anne and the baby are property of the devil now", as a warning, they take out Tyler's eyes, and the reader is like seriously, what just happened? But the writer did a good job of blending real life and nightmares, as Tyler's eyesight ends up being perfectly fine.
Jack St. Louis appears in this dream and he was a very well developed character, you start to like him at first, with his Crocodile Dundee appearance and demeanor, he seems like the perfect ally, but although the end of the book surprised me, it really made perfect sense.
Give this book a chance if this sounds like something you would enjoy reading. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a chance to give you an honest review.
