Thoughts: Sing me to Sleep is a book that will touch your heart forever. I was unsure how much I would like this book at first but as I got into it, the plot thickened and the book really speaks deeply to you. Angela Morrison threw so many twists into the novel that pulls you in and you will never come out, not even when you finish the book. Sing me to Sleep has made a special spot in my heart because it brings the reader romance, drama, adventure to the novel and you don't see all of these genres in one book a lot.
This is the first stand alone novel that I have read in a long time because now many authors write a book and then feel that it needs a sequel and it just because a huge series so it was nice to just read one book for a change. I do have to say that sometimes I hesitate when reading a stand-alone novel because in some cases, the ending has been vague and open which can leave me frustrated at times and can also have a plot that is just kind of flat and which doesn't make the novel as exciting as series can be but I have to say, Angela Morrison did a fabulous job, the ending was amazing, the whole plot kept you in the book the whole time and still leaves you wanting more but in a good way.
Another aspect of this book that I loved was that it made you cry. I could name hundreds of books and movies that I have cried in but I felt like in Sing me to Sleep, it made me cry because the book meant something, not just because it was a sad part but it touched your heart and this is one of the few books that I have read that really speaks to you.
In conclusions, it is probably obvious that I am giving Sing me to Sleep by Angela Morrison a 5/5 stars because it was written brilliantly and they're really no words to describe my feelings towards this book. I strongly suggest that everyone should read this book or at least give it a try.
Rating: 5/5 stars
