Dark Passage by Griffin Hayes

5 year old Tyson Barrett was told to never enter the locked room at the end of the hallway in his home. One day he did... what he saw the reader does not know as the story jumps to when Tyson is 38 years old. Tyson now has really bad nightmares and finds sleep very difficult. You assume Tyson is suffering from PTSD at whatever he witnessed was behind the locked door when he was 5 years old. Tyson joins a drug trial to see if the medication will help him sleep. The dreams continue and you wonder if something sinister is going on or whether Tyson is slowly losing his mind. Dark Passage got off to a good start but then tragedy strikes Dr Stevens and the story rolls downhill from there. It becomes a paranormal fantasy novel and is a little daft. Things do not add up and the characters motives are unbelievable. This book was written in 2011 and I downloaded the 434 KB Amazon Kindle version. Dark Passage fails to live up to it's promise and simply becomes an okay read which I will vote as 3 stars on Goodreads. It is a disappointing read that could have been a gripping thriller that dealt with mental health issues.
