For some reason I held off a long time before reading this book. Now, I'm scratching my head and wondering why.... it was fantastic! Dead Sleep completely exemplifies what I love about reading indie books. You just never know what you're going to get, and more often than not, you're very pleasantly surprised. Such was the case with this novel. The story sucks you in right away, and I found myself instantly relating to the main character... perhaps because the author said he was semi-based on himself, and I find the author to be one of the nicest authors I've had the pleasure of meeting. The story moves along at a good clip, with nary a dull moment in there. It reads like a shorter novel than it is, which is a good thing. Will has a knack for introducing characters and plot twists at the right time to keep the reader engaged, and I found myself devouring huge chunks of this story at a time. I'm looking forward to checking out part two! (I also think it's super cool that Will set the story in his real-life hometown).
