“Where They Wait is so readable, you’ll be a couple of hundred pages in before you realize you’re terrified…and then you can’t put it down. Mesmerizing.” (Stephen King)
“Tense and twisty.” (Charlaine Harris, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Southern Vampire Mysteries)
“A taut, creepy techno-chiller that will leave you hearing ghosts.” (Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and Survivor Song)
A new supernatural novel about a sinister mindfulness app with fatal consequences from the New York Times best-selling author of The Chill.
Recently laid-off from his newspaper and desperate for work, war correspondent Nick Bishop takes a humbling job: writing a profile of a new mindfulness app called Clarity. It’s easy money, and a chance to return to his hometown for the first time in years. The app itself seems like a retread of old ideas — relaxing white noise and guided meditations. But then there are the “Sleep Songs.” A woman’s hauntingly beautiful voice sings a ballad that is anything but soothing — it’s disturbing, and more of a warning than a relaxation — but it works. Deep, refreshing sleep follows.
So do the nightmares. Vivid and chilling, they feature a dead woman who calls Nick by name and whispers guidance — or are they threats? And her voice follows him long after the song is done. As the effects of the nightmares begin to permeate his waking life, Nick makes a terrifying discovery: No one involved with Clarity has any interest in his article. Their interest is in him.

The performance was top notch and the story was unexpected with twists and turns which I found to be unpredictable.

It held my interest, but the plot wears a bit thin at the end.

LIGHT SPOILERS...
There is a terrifying idea here involving not being able to trust your own memory. That part is excellent. Unfortunately, the story starts to go off the rails when it tries to be three genres at once: psychological horror, ghost story, evil technology. Focusing on either the first or last would have yielded a much stronger story.
The biggest problems pop up about halfway into the story. You slowly begin to realize that what the author thinks is scary is fairly weak sauce.
And dear God the pacing! At one point the protagonist needs to record something playing on their phone. We then get page after page of him calling a friend for tech support...going to buy speakers...talking with the sales clerk about which speakers to get...and then coming back home to set them up. What was the purpose in telling us all of this?! There are many moments like this which feel like they are padding out the plot.
Without spoiling too much, I'll just say that once it's made clear what is going on I was incredibly disappointed. It was a great premise that unfortunately turned into a predictable ending.
FOR THOSE WHO READ THE BOOK (SPOILER):
Am I the only one who found the concept of the mother's master plan laughably implausible? Her son is a reporter who never once Googled himself or had this major life event come up later in life? It was in the papers!
A Mixed Bag

The story is about a man who finds out his mother played with his mind when he was a teen to avoid him feeling the loss of his father. This leads to him being able to deal with tragic events differently. Because of this, he is seeker out to perform a cursed act and basically be the keeper of such curse.
The ending left me wanting. There was more that needed to be done and explained. Plus it gave me nightmares lol.
