When I sleep I tend towards bad dreams. The worst of them are these....you're in a nightmare and you think you've awakened and feel relief that the nightmare is over and then something else happens and you realize with dismay that you're still dreaming, and then this repeats itself over and over and all you want is to wake up, REALLY wake up, so you can tell yourself, "it was just a dream". "Will Haunt You" is like those never ending nightmares and Jesse is living them. He doesn't know what-or who-is real. He think's he's safe-and then know's he's not. He think's it's finally over-it's not, not yet. Will it ever be? Jesse is caught in this nightmare loop because he read a mysterious book. Before Chapter One Jesse warns the reader that reading this book opens the door to horrors that will invade your life...maybe tomorrow, next week or years from now....like a curse. Of course, read it I did and like Jesse I never knew who he could trust, what or who was real and how or if his horror would end. The story is certainly not a simple one, but it is very well executed. The writing is excellent. The scenarios are described so well you can easily picture them in your mind and the characters are vivid and well written. The author warns you that reading this book is dangerous. Live dangerously. Take your chances and read it.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Flame Tree Press and the author, Brian Kirk, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Will Haunt You in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion.
I am sorry but I feel like the book started in the middle of the story. There were moments whereby the storyline shows a lot of potential for a great read but not enough for me.

Will Haunt you.. it confused me, no hauntings. I did not give up on the book, but it was just not something I felt invested in. It made me feel I was mostly skipping a few pages. I got the impression it was trying to hard to be bigger.
Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This book begins with a brilliant premise; an ex-alcoholic (Jesse) rocker plays a reunion gig with his band after a decade. As Jesse drives a fellow (inebriated) band member home, things get quite unreal and unnerving. The car radio heralds the 12AM nighttime disc jockey talking with Kevin - seemingly a call-in listener. Kevin also happens to be a member in the band. Jesse's car clock does not move past midnight. The disc jockey and Kevin begin talking about - and also to- Jesse as if they know he is listening and exactly where he is. Nonsense? Perhaps? Or a prank unfolding?

Things spiral downward for Jesse. He is caught in a web that both he - and the reader - have trouble (at times) even comprehending. "Nothing is as it seems..."

A superb introduction and a very terrifying start to the story urge the reader to read on and on...

Although not for everyone's taste, perhaps, all in all this read kept me intrigued.

Many thanks to Flame Tree Press and NetGalley for a different kind of story.

A twisted little tale. A man ends up in a never ending loop of mystery that forces him to face the mistakes of his past. This book started off strong, but I thought it got a little tedious at the end. The imagery is great, but I found too much going on. By the end I was left with more questions than answers. The author is definantly talented and I would read more. I'm going to give this 3 stars. I think many readers will have the same issues I did.
