Unbelievably dark and crazy. I loved this although I was terrified throughout. I didn not what was fact or fiction. Brilliant

My main thoughts were based on how long it took for Emily to actually see her doctors!

Emily has a fear of masks that escalates around Halloween. She also has awful nightmares that a man with a knife is preying on her. More so - she is "hearing voices". Initially she wonders if her boyfriend of a year, Mason, is behind this. She seems to sleep better when he is around and hears the voices less. As a working person, Emily is having trouble with her job due to the panic/anxiety attacks that follow when she sees masks or the hearing of voices.

Another takeaway from the author is the problem of insensitivity with some people. Emily is waiting for a doctor and the workplace is not cutting her a break. (Someone give the woman a valium!!!!) She is in trouble for taking too many days off - but her workplace doesn't understand the country's health care system. Shame.

I loved the book and was flummoxed by the healthcare system that was depicted. I would have gone to A&E and done anything to get in!

Great portrayal of characters and a different type of plotline. The ending satisfied me, as well. I hope that Ms. Blackmore will have another read for us soon!

Many Thanks to Cameron Publicity/Marketing Ltd. and NetGalley for a poignant look at today's world.

In my opinion "can't you just get over it" is one of the most stupid and insensitive questions in the English language. I'm pretty certain there are many many people who have suffered terrible traumas or struggle to get through every day who would love to be able to get over it but unfortunately in reality it's just not that simple.

Night after night Emily's dreams are haunted by an expressionless figure who pursues her and stabs her just before she wakes up.

Her fear escalates when she starts seeing the figure at work and hearing voices,can your nightmares become reality or is someone or something playing with her? As Halloween gets closer and her nightmares get worse,Emily starts to worry about her sanity.

Desperate for answers,Emily struggles to overcome her fear and the disbelief of people around her as she searches for ways to reclaim her life from her nightmares.

I,unfortunately know only too well how debilitating fear and anxiety can be and how much of an impact it can have on your life. Therefore I could fully understand and empathise with poor Emily as she struggled to get through each day and get the people in her life to take her fears seriously. But were her fears grounded in reality or were they all in her head? Was she being pursued by a real person or suffering from a mental illness? Emily was a complex character who despite feeling some empathy towards,I also found quite unlikable at times due to her hot and cold attitude towards her long suffering boyfriend/fiance Mason. But could understand her attitude towards some other characters who appeared in the story.

This is a very well written debut that is intense,thought provoking and has a realistic conclusion as in just like in reality it doesn't have a nice happy ending that arrives wrapped in a ribbon and is finished off with a pretty little bow. This was a enthralling story that held my attention throughout and had me frantically turning the pages. A very enjoyable debut and I look forward to reading more books that are written by this author in the future.

This book was fast paced. Hard to put down. It flowed well and it was very well written. It caught hold of me and had me hooked from the start . I was literally on the edge of my seat reading this book.
