very entertaining and full of those twists and turns thriller lovers adore. great fast paced thriller!

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

When Peter Harper, a gifted musician whose career and personal life are in trouble, comes to northwest Ireland and rents a remote cottage on beautiful, windswept Tremore Beach, he thinks he has found a refuge, a tranquil place in a time of crisis. His only neighbours for miles around are a retired American couple, Leo and Marie Kogan, who sense his difficulties and take him under their wing. But there’s something strange about the pair that he can’t quite figure out.
One night during one of the dramatic storms that pummel the coast, Peter is struck by lightning. Though he survives, he begins to experience a series of terrifying, lucid and bloody nightmares that frame him, the Kogans and his visiting children in mortal danger. The Harper family legend of second sight suddenly takes on a sinister twist. What if his horrifying visions came true, could tonight be his last...?

I am giving this four stars as I was quite taken with the style of writing and the translation. Sometimes these kinds of books are ruined by poor translations and it was with trepidation that I took this one on...

But I am very glad I did. While it may not be the most original novel you will ever read, it is certainly done very well and deserves all the raps it got before release.

The setting and the impact of the weather on the story were key to keeping this book moving. There were times when I felt it was just about to flatten out (pace-wise), it picked back up and drew me back in.

Again, not the most inventive story but one that is done with some real flair and a translation that works very well.
