review 1: I was all ready to go ahead and give this 5 stars, after all, I couldn't put it down and read it in less than 7 hours, but I was disappointed at the way the author wrapped it up in the end. I can suspend disbelief with the best of them but this felt like horror for horror's sake, not scary stuff that comes out of the natural progression of the story. It felt forced. On the other hand, up until the final few chapters, I was riveted and literally did not put it down from the moment I began reading. If I could, I would give it 4.5 stars, with just that half a little star off for the unsatisfactory ending.
review 2: 5 year old Tyson Barrett was told to never enter the locked room at the end of the hallway in his home. One day he did... what he saw the reader does n... moreot know as the story jumps to when Tyson is 38 years old. Tyson now has really bad nightmares and finds sleep very difficult. You assume Tyson is suffering from PTSD at whatever he witnessed was behind the locked door when he was 5 years old. Tyson joins a drug trial to see if the medication will help him sleep. The dreams continue and you wonder if something sinister is going on or whether Tyson is slowly losing his mind. Dark Passage got off to a good start but then tragedy strikes Dr Stevens and the story rolls downhill from there. It becomes a paranormal fantasy novel and is a little daft. Things do not add up and the characters motives are unbelievable. Dark Passage fails to live up to it's promise and simply becomes an okay read. It is a disappointing read that could have been a gripping thriller that dealt with mental health issues. less
