Follow You Home by Mark Edwards

Follow You Home was a surprising find for me. I borrowed this Mark Edwards novel from Amazon as my book of the month. You can do the same with an Amazon Prime membership, or if you have a KindleUnlimited membership this title is included for free as well.

Typically when borrowing a KindleUnlimited title, I'm disappointed. But I really enjoyed the pace and mystery of Follow You Home. It all starts eerily with a traveling couple getting abandoned near a forest in Romania. We don't know exactly what happens in the forest, but upon exiting it they're never the same. We watch their relationship strain and suffer, their well-being crumble and their futures become cloudy all because of whatever happened in the Romanian woods.

Author, Mark Edwards

It becomes clear however that the horror in the woods is not the only threat to Laura and Daniel. Suddenly, back home in London, it feels like something followed them home. Bad luck, strange sights and experiences, etc. Will they maintain a grasp on reality while protecting themselves and those around them from whatever they "brought home?"

Follow You Home will be revealing secrets clear through the last page of the epilogue. The story unfolds from multiple perspectives but holds together, engrossing the reader in every minute, every breath of the story. Edwards writes in his letter that the onset of the novel was inspired by a similar experience of his own. And, quite rightly, he mentions Stephen King as an influencing style. The combination of keeping the story grounded but embellishing to make it interesting and suspenseful resulted in what will certainly be one of my recommendations for suspense novels in the future. I say keep writing, Mark Edwards. Whatever you're doing is working and I enjoyed every page.

You can borrow Follow You Home from your local library or purchase it from Amazon.
