This is certainly a thriller book, or for me it was. I guess everyones level of thrill is different but I found this book to be entertaining, suspenseful, and overall a well written page turner that any horror enthusiast would probably enjoy.

Patrick Allen's "Shamala: The Belonging" draws readers into a world where perception and reality blur, crafting a story both mystical and unsettling. Through the eyes of Stephen, the protagonist, readers experience a journey that challenges the essence of existence itself. Allen's narrative excels in creating a pervasive atmosphere of suspense and otherworldliness, as Stephen encounters inexplicable phenomena that question his sanity and understanding of the world. The narrative is imbued with a subtle but persistent sense of dread, masterfully keeping the reader on edge. Allen's prose is clean and evocative, making "Shamala" a compelling read for those intrigued by the supernatural and philosophical musings on the nature of reality. This novel is a fine blend of psychological thriller and existential inquiry, recommended for anyone looking for a story that stays with them long after the last page is turned.

I got this book for a friend who loves exploring themes of identity, and they couldn’t put it down. The plot dives deep into the journey of finding one’s place in the world, while keeping you hooked with rich storytelling and unique characters. It’s one of those reads that makes you reflect on your own experiences of belonging and connection. The pacing is perfect, and it leaves you wanting more. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys stories with emotional depth and adventure.

This story drags you into Stephen's crazy life right at the start. The confusion and general unbelievability of what is going on grabs the reader immediately, drawing you into the chaos. As things unfold, bit by bit you start to understand what's happening, but not really...it's still too "out of this world" to believe. And that is exactly what you're meant to feel. This novel kept me entralled right to the end.
