Gotham meets Strange the Dreamer in this thrilling young adult fantasy about a cowardly girl who finds herself at the center of a criminal syndicate conspiracy, in a city where crooked politicians and sinister cults reign and dreaming means waking up as your worst nightmare.
Ever 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. Because in Newham, the city that never sleeps, dreaming means waking up as your worst fear.
Whether that means becoming a Nightmare that’s monstrous only in appearance, to transforming into a twisted, unrecognizable creature that terrorizes the city, no one is safe. 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.
But being a member of maybe-cult has a price. 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. Literally. 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.

Absolut underbar. Har lyssnat på andra ljudböcker med samma uppläsare, men i den här boken överträffade hon sina tidigare uppläsningar med hästlängder. Berättelsen är så bra! Den är välbearbetad och balanserad. Både personerna och hur världen fungerar beskrivs i vackra ordalag, och det som i början känns som självklart visar sig inte vara självklart, det är som ett mordmysterium som man inte ens visste fanns, dras fram av händelserna som triggar samtidigt huvudpersonens egna utveckling. Den innehåller våld, men fokus är på andra aspekter. Personen utvecklas genom berättelsen. En otroligt fin berättelse i en mörk värld. Jag blev helt tagen, och tagen på sängen, förväntade mig inte det här.
