 "Lullabies were full of monsters. Full of dark, disguised by beautiful singsong rhythms. Or was it the sinister disguised by something beautiful?"

This is the second book I've read by this author. Although this is a stand alone it did feel very much like a sequel to the Nightmare Man and it references it frequently.

This is a cool story that is similar in a lot of ways to the author's first. Something is causing the wall between real life and dreams to break down, allowing Mr Lullaby to get closer and closer to our world and wreak havoc on Harrod's Reach.

I enjoyed this and The Nightmare Man and recommend both.

Thank you Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for giving me an advanced review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
