Come With Me
Come With Me | Ronald Malfi
19 posts | 19 read | 22 to read
A masterful, heart-palpitating novel of small-town horror and psychological dread from a Bram Stoker nominee. Aaron Decker's life changes one December morning when his wife Allison is killed. Haunted by her absence--and her ghost--Aaron goes through her belongings, where he finds a receipt for a motel room in another part of the country. Piloted by grief and an increasing sense of curiosity, Aaron embarks on a journey to discover what Allison had been doing in the weeks prior to her death. Yet Aaron is unprepared to discover the dark secrets Allison kept, the death and horror that make up the tapestry of her hidden life. And with each dark secret revealed, Aaron becomes more and more consumed by his obsession to learn the terrifying truth about the woman who had been his wife, even if it puts his own life at risk.

First book read in 2024, New Year🙌
This is like a suspense, mystery novel. One December morning, Allison was killed at the mall (It‘s in the book blurb). During the process to move Allison‘s things, Aaron discovered that his wife was full of secrets and the story is about to discover Allison‘s real self but there are eerie elements in the atmosphere. It is a slow pace reading, character driven and Aaron is in a deep grief state, sad story 😔⬇️

Gissy I was expecting more paranormal/horror elements. However, I liked this author‘s writing style, at least in this novel. He expresses so well Aaron‘s feeling that you feel Arron‘s grief. I liked when author describes that Aaron has another self, ”I retreated wholly into other-Aaron during this time”. So you will see Aaron‘s behavior in front of other persons and when he is alone...in sadness😢 That end...3.8 ⭐️

It took me a minute to decide what to rate this one. I loved the ending. It was super unique and unexpected. And the middle started out strong. But the ending lacked just a little something. It felt more like a thriller that needed a bit more depth. But overall it was a fun read I just expected more supernatural elements.

A decent mystery told in a unique way…with the grief of the MCs wife tying into it throughout the story. The plot felt reluctant to get going. Sometimes the horror/supernatural-ish elements felt like they bogged the story down with nonsense, and other times they made the story so much better…like with the ending…it just felt right. I want to say that I liked this as much as others have…but I wasn‘t quite there.

When you start a new book right before bed and then wake up to the feeling of something grabbing your foot...I think this book is for daytime reading only for me. It's not even overtly creepy the book just has an underlying feeling of spookiness. I think I'm going to love it!

This was fun. After his wife‘s murder, Aaron discovers she had been working on uncovering a serial killer. I liked the duality of Aaron‘s grief over his wife with the story of the serial killer; it made for an interesting narrative. And an emotional ride.

I finished this last night. The way this book is written grabbed me. Typically, I don‘t really talk about writing unless to bitch but this was nicely done. Kinda like when I read Gene Wolfs books The Knight and The Wizard. I like when they are writing to someone. Come With Me isn‘t a happy book but it is satisfactory in outcome. Ending seemed a bit rushed. I recommend!

Well this is the best book I've read in a long time, I absolutely loved it!

It's superbly written, engaging, fast-paced and the characters were excellent.

There was supernatural vibes throughout and very atmospheric.

This is my first time reading something written by Ronald Malfi and it certainly won‘t be my last!

This book was pretty good, I do think some things could have been condensed because by the end I was like alright get to it already. Also the ending just kinda lost me a bit. Really good mystery and also good book dealing with grief. 3.5/5

A skull wine cup and a gargoyle tea cup😁 I even have a passport to hell-lol. (Actually a notebook) There wasn't a litsy handle, just the name Missy. When you see this, let me know who you are! Thank you for everything, it's amazing!

Another wonderful book by Ronald Malfi. A great mystery with a supernatural twist, and it kept me guessing until the end. I will need to read everything Malfi has written! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Flitter Ive never heard of him so I‘m going to try the book 3y
amywithbooks @Flitter I also highly recommend The Night Parade, if you're looking to check out his work. It was one of my favorite reads last year 3y
Flitter Ooo thank you. I love new authors (to me) - not very good with gore so hoping it‘s on the right side of horror! 3y
amywithbooks @Flitter i have read 3 of his books so far, none of them gory at all! This one definitely reads more like a thriller/mystery with some supernatural thrown in! 3y
Flitter Perfect, thank you. 3y

Even though I have several of Malfi‘s earlier novels on my TBR, this #audiobook is my first experience with his writing-& now I really can‘t wait to read more! I really enjoyed this! After the sudden death of Aaron‘s journalist wife, he winds up uncovering the secrets and lies she left in her wake. Following her path sets him to a haunting road to the truth! Sometimes this feels more mystery than spooky but completely entertaining! #AudioColoring

Addison_Reads This was my first read by him recently and I loved it! I can't wait to try more. 3y

My insomnia has been back with a vengeance lately, so instead of sleeping last night I devoured this creepy read. 😁

This book is part ghost story, part murder mystery, but completely engrossing. It follows a husband uncovering secrets in his wife's past that lead to a series of unsolved murders. There were a couple of good twists and the writing was very atmospheric. Great read to keep me up all night.

aperfectmjk Oooh... I'll have to check this out. I'm a fan of Ronald Malfi. He knows creeeeepy, that's for sure. 3y
Addison_Reads @aperfectmjk this is my first read by him but I will definitely read more now. 3y
aperfectmjk @Addison_Reads I recommend Bone White. 3y
