Captain Clive’s Dreamworld by Jon Bassoff

Book Blurb:

After becoming the suspect in the death of a young woman, Deputy Sam Hardy is reassigned to the town of Angels and Hope, which, within its borders, holds the once magnificent amusement park, Captain Clive’s Dreamworld. When he arrives, however, Hardy notices some strange happenings. The park is essentially empty of customers. None of the townsfolk ever seem to sleep. And girls seem to be going missing with no plausible explanation. As Hardy begins investigating, his own past is drawn into question by the town, and he finds himself becoming more and more isolated. The truth—about the town and himself—will lead him to understand that there’s no such thing as a clean escape.

I liked the sound of the blurb when Emma from Damppebbles Book Tours sent it over, I thought I would give it a go.

I found Captain Clive’s Dreamworld to be a dark story which I am not sure will be for everyone, as it does contain scenes of rape and suicide, which unfortunately took me away from the story, but put that aside it is really well written one which is full of horror and gore.
