Fear in reading is contained but fear outside of a safe place can be devastating - while a suitable response when facing danger but feeling it all the time isn’t likely to have the best response. Tangled up in the aftermath of an explosive assassination, now Ness and the only other survivor - a Nightmare boy who Ness suspects is planning to eat her - must find their way back to Newham and uncover the sinister truth behind the attack, even as the horrors of her past loom ominously near.īeing a reader of horror for me fear in reading is the roller coaster and also a useful way to examine my reactions to certain topics and situations. In order to prove herself, Ness cons her way into what's supposed to be a simple job for the organization - only for it to blow up in her face. Ness will do anything to avoid becoming another victim, even if that means lying low among the Friends of the Restful Soul, a questionable organization that may or may not be a cult.īut being a member of this maybe-cult has a price.
Whether that means becoming a Nightmare that's monstrous only in appearance, or transforming into a twisted, unrecognizable creature that terrorizes the city, no one is safe. Because in Newham, the city that never sleeps, dreaming means waking up as your worst fear. Price - £16.99 hardback £9.99 Kindle ebookĮver since her sister became a man-eating spider and slaughtered her way through town, nineteen-year-old Ness has been terrified - terrified of some other Nightmare murdering her, and terrified of ending up like her sister.
I would like to thank Hodder and Stoughton for an advance copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review
