Ellie has a problem. The monster in her dreams has come to life.
Dr. Ellie Thompson has always been haunted by her nightmares. But now they’re bleeding into reality. She wakes to find there really is glass in her foot, a knife under her pillow.
How is this possible? Is she sleepwalking?
When threatening messages appear on her phone and then vanish, when incidents she vividly recalls prove to be imaginary, Ellie begins to wonder if there is something more sinister afoot. Is someone doing this to her, trying to drive her mad?
As her grip on reality slips away, Ellie suspects everyone around her. Her distant husband with his unexplained absences. Her obsessive ex who can’t let go. Even her psychiatrist, whose connection to one of her own medical cases raises disturbing questions.
As Ellie fights to discover if these terrors come from inside her own mind or from someone outside, she will finally draw close to the truth. A truth more horrifying, more shocking, than even the worst of her nightmares…
The Sleepwalker – the shocking psychological thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Daniel Hurst and John Marrs.

Fast, Enjoyable Read, I Wanted to Love This, But It Gave Too Much Away
Borrowed using Kindle Unlimited. This review reflects my own honest experience.I really wanted to like this book and honestly, I did enjoy a lot of it. The pacing is solid. The writing is clean. The premise pulled me in quickly. Ian Blackwoodâs background in radio and television is clear. He knows how to move a story forward and keep things tight.But I also picked up on everything the story was trying to do because it made sure I didnât miss it.Without giving anything away, Iâll just say this. I figured things out earlier than I think the author intended. The suspense didnât build for me. It was handed over too directly. I wasnât second-guessing because of clever misdirection. I was second-guessing because the narrative kept throwing so many signals at me, it left little room for curiosity.That said, I did keep reading. And I donât regret it.Itâs a fast-paced read with familiar beats. Something you might enjoy if youâre in the mood for a psychological thriller that doesnât try too hard to be subtle.

I do love a good horror bookâ¦
This review is going to contain spoilers, because wow!Itâs been a long time since Iâve read something that was able to surprise me at the end. I had figured out hubby and bf were probably together very early on, but the twist at the end, how the author writes so well that you donât even know what character youâre reading at times⦠wow.I picked this book for an online book club, and it did not disappoint. I hope all the other ladies enjoy it as much as I did!There were a couple loose ends that I would have liked to seen tied up and after all that, I would have liked to have more of a final note on Ellie. I feel like we didnât really get to know her well enough. Though I did appreciate the recap of a lot of what was done along the way at the end by Penny.Great book, will be recommending it and making sure to stock it in the bookstore I work at too!

The Sleepwalker Review
The premise of this book hooked me from the start – Dr. Ellie Thompson suffers from terrifying nightmares that she canât distinguish from reality, especially when those nightmares appear to be happening in real life. Is she slowly losing her mind, or are these real-life nightmares the product of someone out to get her?I enjoyed following along with Ellie and trying to figure out what was real and what wasnât, however I did feel that the nightmares became repetitive as the book went along. I also found the plot twist and reveal to be a bit predictable, and the book wrapped up much quicker at the end than the rest of the bookâs pacing. I had some issues with the authorâs writing style as well, but despite this, the book was a page-turner I couldnât put down and would recommend it for anyone looking for a fast-paced psychological thriller.Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advanced reader copy of this book

You may be surprised!
It is a good story,and you may even figure some of it out, but not really. There are plenty of surprises along the way. I thought the profanity was unnecessary.

Worthwhile
4.4/5 My first book by this author. Well written, easy to follow but a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. Parts of the story involving her nightmares and paranoid thinking was a little redundant but good plot and some unexpected twists. Will read more by this author!
Amazon Customer –
I was mesmerised from page one. Well-written, intriguing and unpredictable, without the tedious sex scenes and bad language that so many writers seem to revert to, I found it hard to put down.Very disappointed not to find any more books by this author. Please write more.
