Sideways. A stinking, ghostly hell, where time stalls and torment is endless. Among the blackened bones of a burned Victorian asylum, something stirs.
Clutching her pea-shooter, the fate of Alice, the Knocker-Upper, is sealed. Now, she’s Sideways, and fading to grey.

When she stumbles Sideways and meets Alice, Tess knows life may not work out the way she planned.
While fighting her own demons, is Tess of the Clock Shop the one to destroy evil? What sacrifices will she have to make along the way?

Loved it: What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up
⚠️ Spoilers: minor plot detail mentioned below. I went into What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up with pretty normal expectations and it surprised me. Characters feel distinct, and the dialogue reads naturally. There’s a specific turning point late in the book that changes the tone hard — that moment will make or break it for you. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.

Didn’t work for me: What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up
What the Knocker-Upper Woke Up is the kind of book that hooks you early if you like its vibe. The middle drags and repeats the same tension a bit too long. I’d still read more from this author even with the flaws.
