A twisty, creepy, disturbing horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Mister Lullaby is unique fusion of psychological suspense and supernatural horror, offering a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche in its most vulnerable state.

While I'm more of a thriller girl over horror, I enjoyed this.

I wasn't all out scared but it did give me the heebie jeebies, that's for sure. I wasn't a big fan of Gideon's family or Beth. All of them were pretty damn shitty and which took away from the story for me. Simon, though, is my big favorite out of all the people in this book. And for the ending, I don't know how I feel. It was left open so there could be book 2.

I loved The Nightmare Man and this was a great second book from J.H. Market.

In a small town there is an infamous tunnel that always seems to have disaster and tragedy associated with it. It was collapsed in after a young boy, Sully Dupree, was injured and remains in a coma. We get introduced to some key members of the town that all have connections to Sully as well as some people that have never been to the town or even have met the boy but still have strong connections to him. As bizarre murders start happening and bodies are showing up at the tunnel and a brief moment where Sully wakes up with a warning members of the small town of Herrod's Reach start to learn that there are two worlds and the sleeping world is starting to come into the real world.

This book is very entertaining but does take some concentration to follow along. There are a lot of different story lines that are all intertwined but it takes some time before you see how. As someone with night terrors I've always found folklore around dreams intriguing and especially loved the use of it in this book. If you read The Nightmare Man you would have already gotten a taste of this world from J.H. Markert. This book is a standalone though and you don't have to have read The Nightmare Man to read this one but there are bits of the story that overlap and there is even a part where the setting and plot of The Nightmare Man is specifically talked about.

The way the book ended has me very hopeful that there is going to be a sequel where we'll get more answers. If there isn't then it's a disappointing ending but an entertaining read.
