Publisher's summary

Don’t close your eyes. Don’t fall asleep. Don’t let them in.

Thea is an insomniac; she hasn’t slept more than three hours a night for years.

So when an ad for a sleep trial that promises to change her life pops up on her phone, Thea knows this is her last chance at finding any kind of normal life.

Soon Thea’s sleeping for longer than she has in a decade and awakes feeling transformed. So much so that at first she’s willing to overlook the oddities of the trial - the lack of any phone signal; the way she can’t leave her bedroom without permission; the fact that all her personal possessions are locked away, even her shoes.

But it soon becomes clear that the trial doesn’t just want to help Thea sleep. It wants to control her sleep....

An unpauseable, gripping psychological thriller for fans of The One, Behind Her Eyes and Girl A!

Critic reviews

"An original and action-packed thriller, with a perfectly unnerving premise that hooked me from the start." (Philippa East, author of Little White Lies)

"The Circle meets Black Mirror in a thrilling, plausible and gripping debut. Frighteningly inventive." (John Marrs, best-selling author of The One)

"A complex, clever novel with memorable characters and a dash of sci-fi. A truly gripping rollercoaster ride through a dark, dystopian land." (Vikki Patis, author of Girl, Lost)

Suspenseful Tour de Force.. Stellar

A fresh and suspenseful offering on an old subject...sleep.
Taking an innocuous part of everyday life and honing it into a gripping tale.
I enjoyed it from start to finish..
