About this ebook
'Mind-blowing. It kept me guessing from the beginning to the end' Reader review * * * * *
The pitch-black bestselling psychological thriller for fans of Friend Request by Laura Marshall and I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll.
Alex Taylor wakes up tied to an operating table. The man who stands over her isn't a doctor.
The choice he forces her to make is utterly unspeakable.
But when Alex re-awakens, she's unharmed - and no one believes her horrifying story. Ostracised by her colleagues, her family and her partner, she begins to wonder if she really is losing her mind.
And then she meets the next victim.
So compulsive you can't stop reading.
So chilling you won't stop talking about it.
Don't Wake Up is a dark, gripping psychological thriller with a horrifying premise and a stinging twist . . .

When Dr. Alex Taylor wakes up, she finds herself tied to an operating table. She has no memory of how she got there, nor does she know why. There is a man standing over her ..asking one question. When Alex awakes for a second time she is in the hospital, with her colleagues surrounding her. She was found knocked out in the parking lot next to a broken tree limb. She is unhurt other than a bump on the back of her head. But no one will believe her amazing story. Her family and friends insist it never happened. After a while, she begins to wonder if she really is losing her mind. Then a pregnant nurse goes missing. When found and brought to hospital, she is no longer pregnant and what she says to Alex before she dies leads Alex to believe that this woman was abducted and killed by the same man who torments her memory. And there are other bodies ... and all have a connection to Alex. Is Alex a victim? Or is she a serial killer, as the police suspect she is? This is a well written psychological thriller that will have you scratching your head and wondering what's real and what isn't. The ending comes fast and furious. The characters are cleverly described and not everyone is who they say they are. This is an excellent debut novel by this author. Many thanks to the author / Bonnier Zaffre - Twenty7 / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this novel. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This book is quite slow but also quite gripping, in the scenes that do pick up, it leaves you desperate to get through it and see what happens next.

I absolutely loved this book, it was one of those books that you don't want to finish yet have to finish to find out what happens. I really hope the author writes another one
