An experiment gone wrong. A survivor under suspicion. A teen searching for the truth. Ostracized by her friends, Nala finds solace creating true crime content for her YouTube channel. When she breaks into her mother’s private investigator files and finds evidence of multiple teen deaths during a sleep experiment in the 2000s, she’s shocked to see the sole survivor is her schoolteacher. She creates a sensationalist video, outing him as a suspect.
Josh is tormented by what happened during The Fovea Experiments. He gets through the days by throwing himself into his job as a teacher, and survives the nights with a little liquid courage. Nala’s video puts him under suspicion once more, and the trauma he experienced as a teen takes him to breaking point. As he fights to clear his name, he discovers his worst nightmare is unfolding.
Because The Fovea Experiments are happening again. And, this time, the people behind it are determined to see it through to the end.
Some say the eyes are the window to the soul. Or are they a doorway to something far worse?
This was a fun one! A horror story with cults, demons and a sleep experiment!
The only thing that I wasn’t a huge fan of was the main character mother and daughter. Mom is a PI - her daughter starts a YT channel and literally breaks into private work files and makes videos on them, literally almost ruining a teachers life just for views. (Sounds accurate these days) the mom also used to date this teacher…Mom finds out and instead of at bare minimum explaining how illegal and wrong it is to break into shit and steal and ruin someone’s life the mom is like “oh well and man I miss dating this guy my daughter tried to ruin” … like wtf?
Then the dumbass kid who knows this is all related to demonic shit and kids have died decides to go to the crazy persons house… these 2 main characters I just wanted to slap.
The end was bleak as shit… but it’s a horror story- so… lol overall this was a fun quick read!
I don't understand why the author set the book in the USA and then had characters say "rubbish" and "plaster". Just set it in the UK and it wouldn't have taken me out of the story 😵💫
Anyway, this was fine. I never got attached to any of the characters and found Nala annoying. It had a promising start, but tapered off pretty quickly. I liked the descriptions of gore and the demons' appearance; very detailed and fun.
