This was so hard to put down. I loved every minute of this book and the ending was so good. I was so invested in why the town was the way that it was I needed to figure it out before I could go to bed. Great pacing and great story telling, I recommend this to everyone!

Kept me curious and engaged!
Definitely one of the better books I have read. And I actually read it, rather than listened to the audio. For a debut book from Jimmy Juliano, I was very impressed and I am looking forward to reading his next book! The touch of nostalgia was great! This book kept me curious and searching for answer the whole way through. It really came together at the end. Great first book to start off my 2024!

I just loved this!
Everything about this book made me fall in love with it from page one. Mystery, build up, and nostalgia being a 1980's kid myself (not that it is placed in that time but you'll see when you read it) I really recommend this book.

Had Potential
I was sucked in by the concept and plot and finished underwhelmed.The ending and conclusion were very predictable. The cover design really draws you in. But overall the story was just okay.

Fun story
I read this book without knowing anything about it. My local b&n store had it gift wrapped with very little info and said to not look at the dust cover until you finished. I’m glad I did because it was fun going in without any knowledge. It was a quick read and kept my interest the whole time. Looking forward to what else the author comes out with.

Terrifying trip to Clifford Island!
Dead Eleven is a horrifyingly delicious novel, complete with a true monster element and descriptive writing that will have you looking over your shoulder. Juliano's unique story telling complemented by the nostalgic 90's retro theming makes this a compelling, creepy read. I can't wait to read more from this author...hopefully with a trip back to Clifford Island!

Debut novel
Dead Eleven is Jimmy Juliano's debut novel. I liked the premise of the book. Clifford Island is an insular, small island in Wisconsin that seems to be stuck in 1994. Willow Stone thinks the island holds clues, and maybe answers as to the death of her son. But something about Clifford Island is wrong...very, very wrong. Juliano keeps the reader guessing as to what that wrong is - and what's up with the throwback to the 90's. I loved the world building of the island, the town and it's residents. Willow's sleuthing gives credence to her suspicions. But it also marks her as a problem. When she disappears, her brother Harper comes to the island to find her. The second part of the book introduces an alternative reason for the actions, patterns and rituals of the residents that would explain much. But is it reality or conjecture? Or madness? The next part ramps up on the way to the final answers. Juliano often touches on grief in Dead Eleven. I know I've been a bit obtuse, but I'm trying to not provide spoilers! A strong debut and an interesting take on horror. I did find some of the same ideas to be a bit repetitive. And I found myself looking for a bit more 'action'. But overall, an interesting debut And as always - stay out of the basement. (And A&E have picked up rights already!)
