Sleepless Narrowdale Volume 1 Michael Omer Shahar Kober Books

This was a fun YA book, easy to read and kept my interest. Actually, at first I found the main character very annoying (she's a serious whiner, and I'm tired of fictional teen whiners), but I persevered, thinking there was enough potential for a cool story. And I was right. The plot itself isn't super original, but I love the coolness of the town and all it brings with it, and the characters were likeable, aside from the afore mentioned whining. I'd say 'Sleepless' is more plot-driven than character-driven, but not dry by any stretch, and the plot holds it together well. I enjoyed wondering what was going on and was satisfied by the story's conclusion. I'm glad to know that this isn't a standalone novel, since there is still a lot to be discovered in Narrowdale.
And that's all I can say about it without giving things away. The only other downside I can think of that some things seemed unlikely, like the house in this little town being smaller than their house in LA, and the fact that as far as I can remember, everyone in the town was white if they were described. In California, that just doesn't seem likely. Maybe in rural Kansas. The lack of diversity is why this review won't make it to my blog. If there were typos, I don't remember them. I need to review immediately after reading, or at least take notes, but sometimes I'm a slacker.
Language: A couple 'bad words'.
Sexual Content: No
Violence: Sort of, but I don't remember anything graphic. It IS a paranormal murder mystery, so a little violence is to be expected.
Overall Plot/Message: No message, just a nice plot worth reading if you like the genre. rawhitebooksandmore.weebly.com

Sleepless Narrowdale Volume 1 Michael Omer Shahar Kober Books Reviews

Easy to read and connect to the characters.
From something light and funny transforms into adventures and scary.
Will defiantly recommend this book for both young and adult readers!

P.S Try not to finish this book at night. You need a daylight to handle it )
I really like his writing. I have enjoyed every one of his books so far.
The book was interesting through out. It was not the type of story I would usually read, but it was good.
This book becomes better towards the end. The characters develop slowly at the beginning, but the plot brings the personalities of the characters together after the first half. I would recommend this book to friends with that advice.
This is my second read by this author and it does not compare to the mystery I previously read. Stopped midway and was disappointed, sorry
I began by empathizing with the teenage heroine. Having moved around a lot in my formative years, I've had firsthand experience of the Mean Girl treatment & the author nailed it. From there, the tension built as it became more & more evident that something profoundly weird was going on in Narrowdale. As the story wore on, it became a nail biting, edge of your seat, can't put it down book that totally engages a reader and doesn't let go until the last sentence. Looking forward to reading Moth To a Flame, Book Two in this Narrowdale series.
I would describe this as an intense and surreal high school murder mystery with some paranormal elements. I don't typically read middle grade fiction, but this had me hooked. It had a cinematic feel and an impulsive main character who made me want to keep turning the pages. Amy initially seems like an ordinary (if slightly bratty) 14-year-old girl, but her volatile personality becomes compelling reading as the book goes on.

When Amy moves to the suburban neighborhood of Narrowdale, she finds herself socially isolated in her new school. There were a number of cringeworthy encounters with new classmates during which I was blushing for Amy. I enjoyed watching the slow build of her new friendships with Coral and Shane.

Sleepless has a strong David Lynch feel in the sense that it describes an archetypal American suburban town that has dark and surreal undercurrents. Something sinister lurks behind the picket fences...

I found that it took me a few chapters to get into it. Part of that might have been that it's written in the present tense, which is unusual for a middle grade or YA book. But by a 1/3 of the way into the book, I was hooked to the point where I wouldn't put it down in the car even though it was making me feel nauseas to read in a moving vehicle. I read most of it in one day. There is a compelling and tragic mystery at the heart of this story, and I found myself increasingly desperate to find out the answers. I enjoyed watching Amy develop friendships with two other Narrowdale outcasts as she is drawn deeper into the town's mysteries.

Also important to mention--there is some great subtle and dry humor. An example

<i>This tree is way higher than I thought, and it’s swinging in the wind! I hug it tightly and shut my eyes.
“Amy?”
“What?”
“Isn’t it hard to look inside the house with your eyes shut?”
“No, no, I got this.”
“Cause when I close my eyes, I see mostly darkness.”
“Yeah?”
“Maybe with you it’s different.”
“Yeah. Just give me a second.”</i>
