Really enjoyed this book fast paced & plenty twists I had a few different theories & got it wrong. I’ve read one other book by this author & loved it too look forward to reading her other work. Highly reccomended.

Wow. Simply fantastic book that not only kept me hooked but guessing from page to page as to who was or wasn't evil. Couldn't put it down after the first pages.

Anna hasn’t slept since a terrible accident happened. She is suffering from insomnia and night terrors, she feels so guilty that she triies to start again by taking a job at a hotel on the remote Scottish island of Rum, but when 7 guests join things start turning into a nightmare.
All of the guests has a secret, but one of them is a murderer and they have their sights set on Anna.
A brilliant page turner, very creepy in parts and unpredictable. I loved the creepy setting along with the storm and think this could be made into a brilliant film. I really enjoyed it!
Many thanks to Netgalley and Avon Publishers for an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review.

C.L Taylor always writes enjoyable psychological thrillers and this was no different. It felt very much Agatha Christie style country house whodunit, which people being locked up together. Who to trust? Who is lying? Great! I think you get to know the stories of each characters and the different reasons they have for being there. Anna is a strong lead character. Overall, definitely recommend.

Love everything written by C L Taylor so far so was over the moon to be chosen to read her new book Sleep.
I have to admit the start was gripping but a bit further into the book I was wondering if it was actually written by the author as it was very different to her previous stories.
I needed of worried though as it was soon back on track and I realised this was just the calm before the storm and it had me rushing through the book to finish it.
Fantastically edge of your seat writing as usual, great characters and an amazing plot which keeps you guessing till the end.

When Anna's car is driven off the road during an accident, two of her colleagues die and one is in a serious condition. Anna escaped the accident almost unscathed but is troubled by thinking it was all her fault.
When she escapes her life to work in a hotel in a remote part of Scotland, her life starts to unravel. A handful of guests and a storm on the island causes the hotel to become isolated. There is no way out to the main part of the island and when the messages about sleep start arriving, and the hotel owner dies, Anna becomes fearful for her life.
I enjoy reading this book, it was full of twists and turns trying to work out which of the guests was behind it. I didn't guess until I read the plot twist which was good.

Another excellent thriller from C L Taylor. This one involves Anna, who has been involved in a car accident leading to the deaths of two of her colleagues. Haunted by guilt, she develops severe insomnia and decides to relocate to the Scottish Island of Rum to escape.. However, Anna soon becomes convinced that someone has followed her there to wreak revenge.
I loved the atmospheric setting of Rum, the storm which isolates the hotel staff and guests leads to paranoia and Anna is convinced one of them is a killer. However, what is their motivation and how can she save herself? Plenty of red herrings and dodgy characters keep the reader turning the pages, and I certainly couldn't put this book down! Really well written and entertaining, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller.

I have read all of Cally’s psychological thriller books, so when I was pre-approved by Avon publishers to read her latest I was delighted. This author has the knack to keep the reader guessing right to the end of the story and Sleep is no exception.

Anna decides to have a complete change of life hoping to rid herself of the guilt she has after being the driver of a mini bus returning from a team building exercise which was involved in a tragic accident leaving her colleagues dead or severely injured. She is desperate to sleep and overcome her night terrors which have plagued her since. A new life on the Scottish Isle of Rum awaits with Anna being employed as a hotel worker.

One of her first duties is to welcome seven visitors to the hotel but these turn out to have complex problems of their own. Strange events occur, leaving Anna not able to trust any of them.

I liken this book to a murder mystery, who dunnit and the remoteness of the hotel certainly added to the impact of the storyline as did the different characters with their own secrets and flaws.

This is a book I would definitely not recommend starting on an evening. Not only won’t you want to go to sleep, you won’t be able to pull yourself away from the book either!

There is no better setting than a secluded island for this genre of story. As lovely as it sounds, the fact that a doctor only visits once every two weeks and if there were ever any emergencies, you are totally cut off. You can’t even drive to the island! Alarm bells were starting to ring before the guests turn up! You really get the sense of isolation that the characters start to feel.

The murderer has to be one of the people on the island, of which there arn’t many. Trying to figure out just which one it was, well, like Anna, I was constantly switching and changing my mind. There are also some added little twists in the story, just to make things even more interesting. I had absolutely no clue until the author was ready to divulge just who it was, adding to the already tense climax.

Sleep, for me, is the authors best book yet. The tension and suspense that mounts throughout was superb and it really does make it, an edge of your seat read. A very chilling reading experience with plenty to thrill it’s reader. A must read for lovers of suspense.

I've read two of C.L. Taylor's previous books; The Lie and The Escape, Sleep is the sixth book written by her and is just as absorbing as the other two I've read.

An utterly gripping psychological thriller mystery and "who done it" similar to Murder on the Orient Express, where the cast of characters are all trapped together in one place, with a murderer among them. The tension builds along with the pace of the book, and it will make any reader lose "Sleep" due to finding it impossible to put it down.

With thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the opportunity to read this ARC, in return for an honest and unbiased review.

The title just about sums it up - sleep! I couldn’t sleep until I finished the book and even then thoughts were going round and round in my head like little after shocks preventing me from sleeping.

Like all of Ms Taylor’s other books this book was fast paced and before you know it you have lost a few hours of your day without knowing it. It’s just so good!!!

Anyway the story: Anna has left London and her now ex-boyfriend behind after an accident leaves her making life changing decisions and moved to a remote Scottish island where she takes up a job in an hotel. However, strange events and happenings make her think she is being stalked and then, as things progress, become convinced that someone wants her dead but who?

I have read all of C L Taylor’s books and they never disappoint - this is no exception. So clear your diary, close the blinds and curl up in your favourite arm chair just make sure the door is locked after all you never know who is watching you! Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of the book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My thanks to NetGalley and Avon for giving me the opportunity to read SLEEP. When Anna is involved in a dreadful car accident that kills two of her work colleagues she feels increasingly responsible. She is injured in the crash, but after making a recovery she's plagued by debilitating insomnia and terrifying night terrors. She is overwhelmed with guilt, the fallout of which her relationship breaks down. She decides to change her life, to get away from everything that happened and take a job on a remote island. When the guests turn up however, Anna realises that her decision to go on a retreat could turn out to be her biggest mistake. The guests each have a secret and Anna is convinced one of them is after her for revenge. But which one?
I loved reading SLEEP. It gripped me from beginning and actually put me in mind of Agatha Christie's novels. There was the remote island, the hotel cut off from everywhere, the failing electricity, the lack of food and the weirdy guests. Yes, very much like them and just as enjoyable.

I enjoyed the author's last book and this one is equally as good. Another page Turner that I read in 2 days.

SLEEP.... the book that keeps you awake! I'm sure there are going to be many jokes about this, but for good reason! Aptly, albeit paradoxically, titled, SLEEP is an absolutely spine-tingling read, a perfect suspense thriller with with its deliciously eerie atmosphere and cosy-mystery feel. I loved every second of this story and didn't want it to end! Plotted to perfection, the characterisation was flawless, and I enjoyed the 'Murder on the Orient Express' vibe (a cast of characters all trapped together and one of them is a murderer!)
Loved it, loved it! SLEEP is going to be a huge success, I'm sure. Highly recommended!

Sleep reminded me of those ‘Whodunnit’ books from days gone by. A group of people in an isolated location, and one of them is the baddie. The suspense built and it was hard to work out who might be the threat.
Well written and would work for female or male readers. I hadn’t read one of C L Taylor’s books before, but I will keep an eye out for her others.
Thank you for the opportunity to read this book #NetGalley
#DareToSleep

Anna is driving three of her work colleagues back from a team-building exercise when she is involved in an accident. Two of her colleagues die and the third is unlikely to ever walk again. Traumatised and suffocated by guilt she abandons her job and accepts a position as a hotel receptionist on a small Scottish island – Rum. Filled with trepidation she prepares for the first group of guests who are booked in for a week on a walking holiday.

What follows is predictable inasmuch as we are introduced to all the characters and Anna’s assessment of them. The weather closes in and the hotel becomes isolated with no communication. Sound familiar? Of course it does, remember Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. That said, I don’t mean to denigrate Sleep, it really is a very satisfying read. Plenty of surprises and good characters and more than enough to satisfy your curiosity and your interest.
Well, you can’t keep a good plot down.

Highly recommended.

Thank you to the author, publishers and NetGalley for providing an ARC via my Kindle in return for an honest review.

Yet another great book by my favourite author! This certainly is a page turner that kept me guessing all the way through I would highly recommend as with all of her other books.

Sleep opens brilliantly, with a letter from protagonist Anna.

“If you are reading this, I am no longer alive. The following people came to Rum for a walking tour... I am pretty sure one of them killed me.”

This grabbed my interest immediately, with vague echoes of the likes of And Then There Were None.

Following her involvement in a terrible accident, Anna has walked away from her home, her career and her boyfriend and taken up a job in an isolated hotel on a remote Scottish island. She’s hoping to start again... and maybe, finally, get some sleep. But it seems like someone isn’t prepared to let her away that easily. As a storm rages, cutting the hotel off from the nearest civilisation, Anna begins to fear her life is at risk - but from whom? And why?

Sleep is carefully plotted with some clever misdirection. I did guess who was responsible - but it was only a guess, I wasn’t sure and I didn’t know why. The “In Memoriam” snippets scattered throughout added an intriguing and slightly macabre dimension.

A very enjoyable read - my only reservation was the very end, a type of ending which I particularly dislike. But that’s just me. Otherwise, I liked it a lot.

An easy read which I did enjoy. However I found it more and more outlandish the more I read. I didn’t connect with the characters really and didn’t care very much for any of them except perhaps Mohammed.

Anna blames herself for a fatal accident which killed two of her colleagues. After a series of frightening incidents leave her feeling fearful, she decides to leave London for a job as a hotel receptionist on the remote Scottish Isle of Rum.

As the guests begin to arrive and the weather takes a turn for the worse, Anna has an uncomfortable feeling that she is being watched. As the storm intensifies and the hotel becomes isolated from the rest of the island, Anna knows someone is out to harm her but she doesn’t know why. Does someone blame Anna for the accident? Is someone seeking revenge? Who can she trust?

A great thriller with numerous twists along the way which keeps you guessing until the end.
