Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book. Opinions shared are mine.

I have read several books from this author, both under this pen name and his other name. Mister Lullaby is definitely of the horror genre, with much gore and violence.

It has a lot of adult content and profanity, both of which I usually stay away from when possible. However, the storyline was interesting and unique. There was non-stop action. It was hard to tell how much time had passed in the story — maybe a couple of days? It was very intense and left me breathless in a couple of parts.

There were a lot of characters to keep up with, which threw me a bit, although I liked how the author connected them in the end. My biggest complaint was the major cliffhanger. From the author’s note at the end, it seems that this is meant to be a series of sorts….but I really would have liked to wrap things up on the last page a little more.

I can see why people have likened the author to Stephen King. There is definitely a similarity in their writing styles. The world-building is one part of it, as well as the way that the characters are relatable, flawed people. I hope there is another book telling us what happens next because I’m going to be thinking about this one for a while!
