Don’t go to sleep or you will die. Dave Torres is a night watchman, who has had trouble sleeping his whole life. He has these horrible, intense dreams, that often screw up his life. On this night, he goes to a party with his co-worker Matteo and finds everyone dead. Then when taking the bodies to the hospital, they find more dead bodies. Linda an ER nurse is alive, as she’s been working, and Dave gets a hold of his girlfriend Katie, and stops her from sleeping. They soon figure out if you go to sleep, you will die. Dave figures out it has something to do with his dreams, and sleeps for two minutes, and gets answers. It means a long journey, and a fight for survival against a powerful being, to save their lives and that of humanity. This novel is based on a 2019 podcast of the same name (I never heard it), and this book is thrilling, chilling, and a book you don’t want to put down. A perfect summer thriller.
