I had never heard of TL Hines before, but I think after this read, I just may be hooked. His story follows a mysterious man named Lucas. Lucas is a creeper. He has no home, but he wouldn’t say he’s homeless. He lives wherever he chooses. He can be anywhere. He spends his time holed up in elevator shafts, false ceilings, or wherever, a stalkerish voyeur who makes up a reality to those he follows. All he wants to do in connect with them.

But Lucas stumbles upon a group of creepers who are a bit more unsavory. They infiltrate people’s homes and film their every movement, calling their video voyeurism an art. Lucas is disgusted, and yet he is drawn…to feel that sort of connection. The sort of connection with a person he’d never known.

Orphaned…institutionalized…he remembers nothing about his childhood except…”Humpty Dumpty had great falls”…strange and disconnected. But Lucas lives in a world where nothing seems normal. Nothing is normal. Nothing is as he thought it was. Something with these creepers, he has to stop them. Something is going on, but what is it? And how does it tie in to his past?

Overall, the book was very intriguing and many of the plot twists I never saw coming. The single inane line Lucas remembers from his past had me guessing through the entire book. However, the curveballs are a bit too much. The last plot twist regarding the meaning of “Humpty Dumpty” came out of left field and worked out way too tidily. Unless Hines plans a sequel to fill in the gaps…its a 4/5 for me.
