Run, don’t walk, to pick up a copy of this book. This is now the third Markert book I’ve requested an ARC for and man, has this author cemented himself into the automatic read category of my TBR. Though I didn’t connect so much with Mister Lullaby, I absolutely loved The Nightmare Man when it first came out. Sleep Tight brings so many of the same elements that kept me hooked throughout the book - it was creepy (some might even say pretty gruesome), suspenseful, heart-wrenchingly tragic, with a twisty plot that kept my heart pounding until the end. 

I haven’t read a book that’s made me jumpy in a while, so it was fun to have that kind of reading experience again. You inevitably loved or hated the characters, which made for an investing read. I appreciated that they all had flaws and felt like real people. I always love the town dynamics that Markert includes in his books - of Crooked Tree, Harrod’s Reach, and now Twisted Tree. Though I’m not entirely sure how and if everything is connected, I’ll be eagerly awaiting another installment to find out. 

Thanks Netgally for the ARC!
