It is hard to stumble upon a new idea, and even harder to turnt that idea into a compelling, suspense-laden narrative that is rife with emotional touchstones. qntm has done so.

The book isn’t bad, but I put it down 10 days ago and have no urge to even think about it, let alone keep reading it. It may be nice as an audiobook for a road trip or in some other situation where you can’t really do much of anything for 8 hours.

Repetitive and underwhelming. I enjoyed Penpal, Bad Man, and other No Sleep authors, so this was a bit of a disappointment.
Petrified Women by Jeremy Ray

I’m sorry, but the reason the protagonist goes to her boyfriend’s house, AFTER she escapes, is asinine. If she thought the murder was a prank, no need to get the ice cream cake. Block his number and move on. If she thought the murder was real, call the police, won’t matter if you left an ice cream cake in his fridge. There is absolutely no outcome where sneaking back into his apartment makes sense. After I’d read that choice from the main character, I just had to put the book down.
