What should have been an ordinary morning is about to spiral into a day of unrelenting terror. As a reporter for his high school newspaper, Tom is always on the lookout for an offbeat story. But from the moment he woke up this morning, his own life has been more bizarre than any headline could ever tell. The streets of his town are suddenly empty and silent. A strange fog has drifted in from the sea and hangs over everything. And something is moving in that fog. Something evil. Something hungry. Closing in on Tom. Tom's terrified girlfriend Marie says the answers lie at the Santa Maria Monastery, a haunted ruin standing amidst a forest blackened by wildfire. But can he trust her? A voice that seems to be coming from beyond the grave is warning him that nothing is what it seems. "Only one thing is certain: with his world collapsing around him, Tom has only a few hours to recover the life he knew - before he, too, is lost forever in this nightmare city."Find it Here: Goodreads | Amazon | B&N | TBD | Kobo
My Review
Let me just start by stating that this book was not what I
expected. That’s not necessarily a bad
thing, but I think the synopsis is misleading.
All in all, Nightmare City is
a fast paced mystery with horror thrown in for good measure.
Tom is our protagonist and he is the star reporter of his
high school paper. He got in trouble due to a story that he wrote that has made
him mighty unpopular and open a can of worms in the process. Unfortunately, I
cannot tell you too much about the story because it has so many twists and
turns that you must experience yourself first hand and I don’t want to spoil it
for you.
