I felt so stuck I was begging anybody to free me from the shackles of having to read this woman fall asleep and wake up again
The Near Witch (2011)
The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy.

This book is not bad. I don't have any negative feelings towards it. It was just very slow and it never gripped me and I got probably a third of the way into this book and I just every time I would pick it up I felt like I was forcing myself to read it.
