So, I picked up this book, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster ride of confusion and curiosity. At the start, I was like, "What on earth is happening here?" But you know what, I stuck with it, and I'm kinda glad I did.

There are five totally different folks, all with these wild abilities, who somehow end up in the same creepy high-rise building. They've never met before, but they're all connected through their crazy dreams and the shadows that stalk them. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, right? Well, turns out there's some ancient evil trying to escape and do some real bad stuff. And these five are the only ones standing in its way. Can they stop it or will they just make things worse?

Here's the thing, though. The beginning of this book left me scratching my head. It was like trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. And let's talk about the ending – it's like when you're craving your favorite dessert, and you take a big bite, and it's just... meh. It doesn't leave you fuming, but it definitely leaves you wondering if there's more to come.

Overall, this book had some serious potential, but it felt like a never-ending maze of confusion at times. I did love the plot, though, and the last few chapters were the saving grace. So, it's a mixed bag – some cool parts, some head-scratchers, and a dash of "what just happened?"

Sadly this book was a DNF from me. I tried to stick it out but nothing really made sense to me. The way the story just begins, I feel like we aren't given much context on who is who and what is going on, and as I read more, it did not become more clear,. unfortunately. I didn't care about any of the characters and it was too hard to even know what was going on in this book. I wish I had more to say, but all I can really say is the 40% I read just left me feeling utterly bored and confused.

Thank you netgalley for this ARC copy!

I was not a huge fan of this book. It was hard to follow a lot of the time and I was struggling to connect with the characters and story. I saw another review that stated there was simultaneously a lot going on and nothing at the same time and I completely agree with that.

This book had the ingredients to be great but I felt something missing. I loved how it started but then it started to lose me and didn’t recover from that. Unfortunately the book wasn’t my cup of tea

Synopsis: 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.

This book had great potential but was hard to keep me engaged and to follow. The beginning was a bit confusing and it had good parts to it but I felt like it was too long and dragged on. I loved the plot and the last couple chapters were the best part of the book. 3 star rating from me.

Thank you NetGalley and Eric Woods for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC! This wasn't my cup of tea. I couldn't connect to any of the characters and the story simultaneously seemed rushed and immobile. The blurb intrigued me but, didn't hit the mark.

Solid read. Three stars overall.


Love the character development.
Story was a little dragged. enjoyable when action and high points of tension arose.

Thank you to Eric Woods and NetGalley for this opportunity to read rate and review this arc which is available October 13,2023!

This is a supernatural horror of 5 strangers in NYC high rise. It was properly creepy fun read but at times it lagged. I enjoyed it and I recommend it

There was a lot of promise in the premise of this book, but I don’t feel it reached fruition. This book kinda felt like I was chasing my tail, lots of action but never really went anywhere. Ending was up in the air as well…if it were to be reworked I think it could be an amazing story!

Thank you, Eric Woods and NetGalley, for the ARC. I leave this review voluntarily and happily. Also, thank you publishers for your hard work!

This book was definitely a strange one. It's in my top ten for sure. I'll admit that when I first started reading, I was confused and had no idea where it was going, but I'm glad I kept on reading. This was a good read and certainly is not like other books I've read. The ending isn't exactly satisfying, but it doesn't leave you angry. It does leave you wondering if there is going to be more later on.

There are five very different individuals coming together to the same building. They each have different abilities, abilities they somthing very much desires to collect. An evil so old that wishes to escape and continue to cause pain and suffering as it collects more and more to become all powerful. These five people are all that stand in its way from escaping. Can they stop it, or will they only aid in its freedom?

If not for the confusion at the beginning and the ending of the book, I'd have enjoyed this a lot more. But not every book is going to have a happy ending. That's just how it works.
