Book length - 368 pages Publisher - Avon Books UK Worldwide - www.bookdepository.com Amazon UK - www.amazon.co.uk Amazon US - www.amazon.com I want to thank Sabah from www.avonbooks.co.uk for the opportunity to take part in this blog tour and for providing me with a copy of this book for review. ABOUT THIS BOOK All Anna wants is to be able to sleep. But crushing insomnia, terrifying night terrors and memories of that terrible night are making it impossible. If only she didn’t feel so guilty… To escape her past, Anna takes a job at a hotel on the remote Scottish island of Rum, but when seven guests join her, what started as a retreat from the world turns into a deadly nightmare. Each of the guests have a secret but one of them is lying – about who they are and why they’re on the island. There’s a murderer staying in the Bay View hotel. And they’ve set their sights on Anna. Seven strangers. Seven secrets. One deadly lie. Someone’s going to sleep and never wake up… MY REVIEW Absolutely amazing. SLEEP by C.L. Taylor is absolutely amazing in every possible way and I couldn't wait to get to the final page so I could find out all of the answers (and what a final page!). When a tragic accident changes Anna and her colleague's lives, Anna struggles to deal with her feelings of guilt and sadness. Even when she is cleared of all wrongdoing, Anna shrinks into herself as she tries to heal but when she begins to get mysterious and creepy messages about going to sleep forever, she decides that a drastic change is needed. Moving to a remote Scottish island to work at the only hotel there, gives Anna a chance for a fresh start and the wild beauty of the landscape gives her some much-needed space and peace. But when the first group of guests arrives, a storm soon rolls in and not everyone is who they say they are. When the messages begin again will Anna be able to uncover the truth before it is too late? The setting is fantastic in this story as the isolation and eery quality of the hotel adds the perfect atmosphere to the story - it also helped that I was reading this book in the middle of a storm so my nerves were already tingling! The characters were all intriguing in their own way and I enjoyed trying to figure out who they were beneath their carefully created facades. The pace works very well and there was never a dull moment from beginning to end. While I definitely was thrown off the scent a few times throughout, I had figured out the truth by the last few chapters but the ending still took me by surprise. Compelling, haunting, and spine-tingling in all of the right places, SLEEP by C.L. Taylor is my favourite book from this author so far and I cannot wait for more from one of best authors in this genre. AUTHOR BIO C.L. Taylor lives in Bristol with her partner and young son.
