A spooky read for spooky season! 

Sleep tight is the story of Tess, a cop (& daughter of a cop) whose past catches up to her when her daughter is kidnapped and all signs point to it being related to a serial killer case her father solved decades ago. 

A true crime drama with a sprinkling of paranormal flair, this one kept me turning pages but also left a lot of unresolved questions by the end. The twists are surprising and twisty, the element of learning the past through Tess uncovering repressed memories was exciting. I do think we had too many named characters & one or two of the sub/auxiliary plots could have been left off. 

Overall I super enjoyed this & recommend to horror & thriller lovers!
