Forever Night. Wow what an impactful psychological/ thriller or suspense book. It was truly wild one for me to read. I can say this, the book was very entertaining. I don’t know about you, but I can not say that I have ever read a character like Paul.
In my opinion, his character was exceptionally written. The writer did a tremendous job of taking the reader step by step through each chapter. This gave the readers a portion of a look, inside the mind of a soldier. A soldier who suffers from some of the effects of PTSD. Yes I know that the book is based around the mind of a serial killer, but I think behind that story is the story of a solder.
One who returned home wounded mentally and physically from the battles of war. You will love the plot. It is so amazing and it gives so much wait to the story. I believe that it brought the story full circle. To tell you the truth. Jayne’s story guided me in this direction.
Let me say this. Jayne’s character is a great to add to the book, but Dillon and her…that’s a no for me. I was somewhat thrown off by it. I looked for the reason why the writer went in this direction and I could not come up with a plausible solution. Did this direction have merit to the story, I don’t think so.
Officer Mike! What the blipping heck?! I think that the writer really needs to go back and re-think his character. Now that’s a character who has an overwhelming merit to the story and the police force and future books, if you want to be real about it. Look, they do it in soap operas all the time.
You should think that they can do it in a book. Look at how many times that they did it to Sue Ellen in Dallas. Come- on! I thought the story was fantastic and engaging. The book is definitely a page turner that will keep you up all night reading to the very end.
The context of the story is clear and understanding. The writer I felt kept the wording simple for readers so that they can have some enjoyment of from story. Also I appreciate that the book did not have the distraction of you needing to interpret flamboyant wording or phrases. Of course the dialogue was phenomenal. The dialogue is the power behind the emotional feelings of the character.
I thought the characters all were wonderful for however long there performance lasted in the book. Some were shorter then the others, but hey! They were brilliant. When it came to the details and or the description of scenes, characters etc., my imagination was pleased. Again I always say that I love it when a writer gives me a story that reads like a movie in my mind.
This book certainly did that. I give this story two snaps and a, “If you feel that you have absolutely no were to turn or someone to talk to. Please call your local medical facility for guidance and help. Remember that you are never alone. It takes one word- help.”
Until next time my fellow readers. Read on! I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Wow wow wow!! This book took me a minute to GWT to for some reason?! But dang! I was blown away! What a great book! I was on the edge of my seat the whole book! It had quite a bit of gruesome bloodshed and gore, pretty violent too! But so well worth reading! This book had high suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, serial killer, some great police work and some really bad police work too! The storyline was where its at! Wow! What a great story! I was glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book! If your ok with the violence and bloodshed this books for you!! Its not crazy creepy just a great book! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me! Thanks for the intro to a new to me author also!

Forever Night
By Stephen B. King

Paul Williams, the protagonist here, is a serial killer. This is the story of how he got to this point; all the factors which made him what he is. It is, at once, a horror story and a story of a man driven to mental illness by the circumstances of his life, which may inspire the reader to sympathy.

Paul has suffered in childhood both physical and mental abuse. He also suffers from PTSD and the effects of wounds from his time in the military. All of this is explained by his journal entries. Strangely, he does not see himself as a victim. He considers himself better, tougher, and smarter than others – including the police - due to his lifelong conditioning.

None of this excuses the horror he inflicts on all those he tortures and kills, but it does explain his logic for what he does. These are not random acts of violence.

This book left me confused about my mixed feelings concerning Paul. It certainly gives a reader much to think about.
