A Review From The Novel Lady

“Sometime in October, when I list my absolute favorite Halloween night reads, this book will be way up on my list! Probably #1. This is one of those books you simply cannot put down. Warning: Don’t read SLEEP SAVANNAH SLEEP when you are alone in the house all night. I made the mistake of reading it while in a hotel room while I was traveling alone on a trip from North Carolina to Florida. Not only did I not get any sleep because I was too busy reading… but even after I finished the book… there was no way I was going to shut my eyes!

This story starts out by drawing you in to a sweet yet quirky small town with interesting characters, a bar called The Devil’s Triangle, a book store called Tome After Tome, a blind old lady who “sees” Jason, a gossipy next door neighbor, and the beautiful sexy Savannah who does every guy in town and ends up missing.

Jason Crandall’s wife had died several months earlier and he was left to raise his two children, a sweet young daughter and a difficult teenage son. Moving to this small town of Shadow Springs and starting up his massage therapy business in an old Victorian home seemed like a fresh start for all of them. Then the dreams began. Not my dreams. I was too afraid to fall asleep. I’m talking about Jason Crandall’s dreams. Wow! Such vivid descriptions! This book keeps you guessing as to what these dreams mean and what happened to Savannah. Or maybe I should just say “Who”. I’m usually pretty good at figuring out who-done-its, but this one totally surprised me.

This is the first book I have read by Alistair Cross (I’m embarrassed to say), but I have already started looking for more to put on my TBR list. I just won’t be reading them when I’m alone in a strange hotel room.”
