Thank you, Christopher Alan Broadstone and NetGalley, for the ARC. I leave this review voluntarily and happily. Also, thank you publishers for your hard work!

This was one twisted book. So much happened in this book. i honestly have no idea where to start with my review. The blood, gore, and death in this book and not to mention the descriptions of how it all went down had my skin crawling. This truly was a book I had to take stops to read so I could collect my thoughts and think back on what just happened. Every chapter had me realing, page to page I was thinking what did I just read and can I have more? This book is not for everyone. There are scenes in it that are disturbing and very unsettling. There is questioning of God in this book and other such things. Even if this was my first book from this author, it definitely has me wanting to read more from them.

Four different lives are eventually interwoven together, brought together by a hideous monstrosity known as The Puzzleman. They are all part of his game and what the Puzzleman wants he gets. They will suffer, experience things unholy, and they will question what's real and what's not. Will they come out of this alive, or will they become part of the Puzzlemans masterpiece? Down the pipes they go, down down down.

This truly was a one of a kind read. This one will stick with me for a while. It certainly makes me think twice about certain things and makes me wonder about the past and history. The mind that made this book is certainly one I wish to follow and read more of their work to see what they come up with in the future.

Puzzleman is an exhilarating dive into a dark and twisted world where reality bends and sinister forces lurk beneath the surface. The author masterfully intertwines the lives of diverse characters, each grappling with their own demons while facing the menacing Grumemonsters and the enigmatic Puzzleman. I really enjoyed reading this book because the intricate plot kept me guessing at every turn, and the richly developed characters made the supernatural elements even more compelling. It's a thrilling adventure that perfectly blends horror and fantasy, making it a standout read for fans of the genre.

Buckle up for the wildest ride of your reading life! 🎢 Puzzleman totally blew me away with its insane pipeworld and those freaky Grumemonsters. From jump scares to mind-bending twists, this book keeps the adrenaline pumping nonstop. The characters are so quirky and intertwined, you’ll be cheering for them every step of the way. If you’re craving a supernatural thriller that’s packed with action and surprises, don’t miss out on this gem! 🚀✨📖

This was such a great zombie novel, it had that horrifying element that I wanted and thought the overall feel worked with this world. I was hooked from the first page and was engaged with the world. The characters did everything that I was looking for and glad it was so well written. I thought Christopher Alan Broadstone has a great way of telling a story and ready for more. I thought the Puzzleman was a terrifying concept and glad it worked with the horror genre.
