Follow You Down

An engaging read that keeps your attention. I almost missed my bus stop while reading it because I was so invested. The dialogue and narration is tight, to the point and reveals only a few of the ending's secrets if you look carefully.
The premise felt like the set up of a horror movie, and to my surprise, it continued in this fashion to the very end. You are never too sure if there is a supernatural element invoked in the story, or if it is just your imagination running wild. Many of the events had me shouting at my screen "No, it's obviously a trap!" or "why are you running that way? He'll know!" just like a good horror film. Still, for the horror framework, this isn't an overly gory, or bloody book. Most of the horror is psychological.
The main plot follows Neil, a jerk lawyer who is compelled to revisit the old campground he and his four friends once worked at, for a relaxed weekend of male bonding. He hasn't seen his friends since ditching them for university 18 years ago, and is surprised at his own interest in reconnecting with them. Neil is a narcissist you love to hate, but his friends seem like down to earth guys, tolerating Neil's antics in order to bury the hatchet and patch up their friendship. Included is a woman from Neil's past, and a horrible secret he must delve into if he wants to leave the campground alive.
I would definitely read another book from this author, and recommend this to anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers, revenge stories or books are actually able to sustain suspense until the end.

In the times we live in, this book is very relevant. Could serve as a lesson to a lot of people. If only they could see the ramifications of their actions. and non actions. I really did like this book even though it was hard to read. It was very real and timely. I found it to be sad as well thinking of how many lives were ruined by what seemed like immature teasing and pranks to a bunch of kids. Through most of the book the main character was really a jerk and you just could not like him but by the time it was over, I actually felt bad for him. While it was a very good book it was most certainly a little dark in the story line.

Thank you NetGalley for kindly providing the book for an honest review.

This is one hell of a story and it keeps you guessing where the plot is headed. I mean you can see where it is heading, but in your mind you hope that isn't where it is heading. The book is not scary per se, but it surely is a psychological thriller.

So, we have Nick who is a total douche, he is arrogant, selfish, thinks it's okay to sexually harass his hot secretary and who is planning to marry the daughter of a senior partner in his law firm, so that he can become a partner there. You get the picture !!

And he is invited to this re-union with 4 of his other friends in an abandoned camp which they used to visit during their childhood. During talks, he comes to know that the kid whom he had bullied killed himself and the spooky things start happening to him. And how it all ends is something you will have to read !! Because, I did not see that coming.. I mean yeah..kinda.. but not that kinda !!

The characters, even Nick are very well written. You go through a lot of emotions through out the book and you really do not like Nick. There were many points during the book, that I felt "Oh no Nick !! You did not do that to that poor misfit boy !!!". The book highlights a common problem which so many kids have to unnecessarily go through. Bullying and ragging have to be condemned and stopped. Having a kid myself, I feel so worried with the way times are changing and survival being so difficult. I do not want to extend the review, but this story has sure given me a lot to think.

I am not sure if I like the end. It was shocking, true, but was it necessary ? I kind of agree with Sammy's dad on this. There were other means to make him pay, even publicly maybe. I would like to end the review by asking Does the end always justify the means?? I guess it's easy to be judgemental, when you have not been in the their shoes. Anyway, here's to a good future for all our children and hope that we are able to teach them to be compassionate and make this world a better place to live in !!!

All though well written I didn't really care for the plot of the novel. Neil is invited by old childhood friends to have a reunion at their childhood camp. Once Neil is there his friends tell him that a boy he horribly bullied committed suicide soon after their last trip to camp. Strange things began to happen-Neil is seeing and hearing voices of the deceased boy. I would have liked this book better if the ending had been written differently.

A psychological thriller that keeps you guessing. I loved it!

A gripping tale of revenge best tasted cold. Very well written book, quick to read, keeps the reader guessing. Although there are signs of what is to happen when looking back. I will definitelly look for other books by this author. Kind of reminds me of Harlan Coben. Can only recommend.

After receiving an invitation for a reunion, Neil Brewster is ready to ignore it and not show up. That is until his childhood best friend calls to persuade him to come claiming it will only be Cinco Amigos! Convinced, Neil heads to their old summer job campground to spend the weekend drinking and enjoying his friends. At least that's what he thinks it will be. Until he gets there and memories begin to haunt Neil.

I really enjoyed Follow You Down It kept me on my toes and it truly was a psychological thriller. I had to put it down at 10 at night because my imagination started running away from me! Highly recommend and would read any other book in this genre by Bradley.

Holy Wow. I did not want to put this book down once I started it. Neil, a narcissistic New York attorney has a reunion with his four high school friends and his past misdeeds come back to haunt him. An enthralling thriller.

What happened at camp, stayed at camp.


4.5 stars rounded up to 5!

What initially made me interested in this one was the incredible cover. I was lucky enough to receive an advance readers’ copy on NetGalley and it only took me a day to get through this gripping thriller.

I usually struggled with 3rd person narrative, but I didn’t find that to be the case this time around. The story was highly engaging, fast-paced, and kept me turning the pages until I reached the very end.

I knocked off half a star because in all fairness, the twist was quite predictable and I saw it coming from the very beginning of the book, but I still thought the book was a fun, fast read that kept me busy all day.

The ending was a bit of a surprise and I quite enjoyed it. It also really made me think about just how broken these characters really are. But apart from that, I really wondered what makes a bad man deserve a punishment. And who is to decide?

All in all, a fast-paced, chilling thriller that would make an INCREDIBLE film in my opinion, and kept me glued to my seat until I found out the whole story.

Would recommend to: fans of nostalgic slasher movies like Friday the 13th as well as Sleepaway Camp. This reminded me way more of a movie than any book I’ve read, and I think it would make a great film!

NICK: the hot shot New York lawyer who thinks hes so gift to women thinks its okay to sexually harass his secretary all while planning to marry the daughter of a senior partner in his law firm, so that he can become a partner there. UMMM DOUCHEBAG!! Your already made to hate him from the get-go.

Nick gets invited to this reunion with 4 of his other friends at this summer job campground. During all the catching up , he find out the kid he had bullied killed himself. Let the creepy begin!!

I kept wondering the whole time is there some sort of paranormal element going on here or was that all my mind playing tricks on me. Definately kept me on my toes all the way till the end.

Thank again NetGalley!
