Review of advance copy received from Author
You Woke Up Here Again is a horror romance novel set in the tiny town of Hidden Cove.
Jack Hazel comes to town to conduct an audit. But the town has other plans. The same Tuesday greets him again and again, wiping away every trace he leaves – nothing he does leaves a mark, except for things that never should have happened in the first place.
Carla is the only person who seems to remember him, but she is filled with secrets, and he is unsure whether to fully trust her. Something is watching the town. When the dead stop returning at dawn, Jack realises that the rules of the time loop are far from harmless, and something else is trapped here with them.
With the aid of a reluctant hotel manager, Jack must uncover why Hidden Cover refuses to let him go before the loop collapses and takes them all with it.
It is a dark and fast paced mystery. You were pulled in within the first few chapters, immediately gripped by the mystery of what was happening to Jack—was he unravelling mentally, or was the town itself hiding something sinister? The pacing never let up, and once you started, you could not stop reading. Jack felt vivid and compelling, his pain and confusion grounding the story, and even Boris—initially abrasive—became strangely engaging. Carla’s arc was well developed, though you never warmed to her as a person, and her background only reinforced that distance. The writing style’s dark, brooding tone created a slow, creeping dread, while the looping narrative structure cleverly amplified Jack’s disorientation. You would have liked deeper development for Boris and found Ronnie’s portrayal a bit stereotypical for his profession, but overall, the emotional and thematic payoff at the end was satisfying.
I very much enjoyed You Woke Up Here Again. I think it is ideal read for anyone who enjoys atmospheric mysteries with a touch of horror and I am keen to see what the author writes next.
I received an advanced review copy from the publisher; all opinions are my own.

You Woke Up Here by T. Towers is a complex mix of danger, déjà vu, and the paranormal. It is well-written with memorable characters and a tense, twisted plot that grips from the start.
Not knowing what is going on or who to trust, Jack has to make decisions that are out of character but necessary to understand his dilemma and repetitive situation.
Finding himself stuck in Groundhog Day with a difference, he needs allies that comprehend his theories and support his actions as occult practises are tied to the mob.
When the truth is unveiled, the story reaches its climax at breakneck speed, keeping the pages turning and me on the edge of my seat.
It was a deeply disturbing tale that kept me awake in the night.
Highly recommended.

Review of advance copy
This book had me on the edge of my seat and completely enthralled. It was Groundhog's Day meets Stephen King in the BEST possible way! It took me on so many twists and turns that I never knew what was coming next. I loved the little dash of romance and bi rep with Jack. I hope we get more of the story because that ending definitely left me wanting more!!

This book was a pleasant surprise with how well the story was written and how quirky and individual each character felt. I kept expecting there to be a time when I wasn’t thinking about these characters or the story, but that simply never happened. This book was enjoyable from start to finish!

It was a funny, cozy read mixed in with a psychological thriller.
I loved the main character and how he seemed to be stuck in a time loop.
Well written; descriptive writing and interesting plot bringing readers on an adventure.
