25 years ago in Gritten Woods, Charlie Crabtree was involved in a cult-like murder but he has since disappeared. Paul Adams returns home to Gritten Woods because of his mother's dimentia. He has been haunted by these murders for 25 years. Now there are copycat murders which Detective Amanda Beck is investigating. Are they copycat murders or has Charlie returned? What secrets do The Shadows hold?

This is a gripping, atmospheric and creepy story about lucid dreaming and the past that encroaches the present. I listened to the audio which I received from MacMillian Audio and NetGalley for an honest review. I enjoyed the audio as it brought the story to life even more. Hannah Arterton and John Heffernan did an excellent job reading the story. There were two different POV's and a dual timeline.

I found the characters to be well-developed and I enjoyed the surprise reveal at the end. I would highly recommend this book to those who like creepy, suspenseful ghost stories.
