Description

Everything that is going to happen already has. During a disruption in the timeline of a sleepy Lake District village, the erratic and strung-out artist Haruki Kensagi cannot help but feel that he’s been here before, either in his past or in his future.

Haruki, struggling with both his painting and his mental health, disappears. His long-suffering wife Jane Kensagi, herself a brilliant musician, interrupts her career to look for him unaware that a malignant and ageless entity awaits them both under the dark fells of the Lake District.

The estranged couple becomes caught up in a dangerously recursive series of events surrounding a dormant cosmic force. They encounter a cabal of enigmatic characters who may hinder or help in equal measure.

And over all this madness, the monstrous but charismatic Captain presides; part faith healer, part cult-leader, all saviour.

Haruki and Jane are taken to the limits of sanity and beyond in their attempt to escape from the evil that has been unleashed.

Everything that is going to happen already has. During a disruption in the timeline of a sleepy Lake District village, the erratic and strung-out artist Haruki Kensagi cannot help but feel that he’s...

I don't read a lot of suspense, but this one looked good, and I enjoyed this overall. The author created some interesting characters, and he has a good writing style. I suspect most suspense fans will enjoy this one.

Thanks very much for the free review copy!!

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure about this book when I started it. The writing seemed excellent, albeit a little unnecessary at times. (The paragraphs about tofu stick in my mind here. Can't say I had ever thought that deeply about it!)
If it hadn't been a book for a blog tour, I may have struggled to keep reading. Well, that said, I persevered and this book massively suprised me. Once the story kicked in, I was intrigued by the Captain, and very unsettled by him. His parts are written very well, and give the reader some serious creepy vibes.
Then the disappearance story takes off, and I was completely taken in! This is an unknown author to me, and sums up why I love my reading and reviews so much. You get access to authors you've never heard of, and they give you a fantastic book!
Thank you to Random Things Tours for the blog tour invite.
