The Review
In 12:07 The Sleeping by L. Sydney Abel, Lance has a perfectly normal life. Both he and his wife have good jobs and despite the fact that they had lost a baby years earlier, they were still relatively happy. Lance goes to work each day, eyes up his beautiful secretary but does not touch and returns home each night to his wife Katherine.
The only thing that causes him problems are the nightmares he had been having since he was a child.
In enters Mr Green, the man without a soul. He tells Lance that Lance was one of the ‘Unwanted’ and that these nightmares are real. They are ‘the sleeping’ and they are coming for Lance's soul.
There is a fight and as Katherine is not willing to give up her husband's soul so easily she readily becomes his ‘protector’ willing to go to extremes to save him.
I read 12:07 The Sleeping in one sitting and is by far one of the best paranormal books I have read so far this year. The writing is very creative and descriptive. The characters and story line have been well thought out and imaginatively done.
I recommend this book highly to those who love paranormal creepiness mixed with heaven, hell, darkness and light.

ReplyDeleteThis one sounds too creepy for me....LOL. Thanks for sharing! Here's mine: “PRETENDING TO DANCE”
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting premise but just isn't grabbing me. I do hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteMy book was based on personal experience of Sleep Paralysis or Old Hag Syndrome. I have suffered from Sleep Paralysis since the age of five. The sensation of something shrouded in black laying on top of me, suffocating me, is terrifying. One day I feel The Sleeping, as I call them, will take my soul.
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank Claire for her positive review.
