by Jennifer Brozek

Overview

"Never Let Me Sleep is a disturbing glimpse into an unfolding apocalypse. This is genuine nightmare territory." –Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Fall Of Night

What would you do if you discovered that everyone–in your house, on your street, in your town–was dead? Then you discovered you weren't alone–and whatever was out there was hunting you?

Melissa Allen, a troubled teen who was under house arrest, is the only person left alive in South Dakota. After discovering the mysterious deaths of her guardians and hearing of the massacre on the news, she realizes that there are monsters out there. They are pretending to be human, and they've have begun a door-to-door search–for her.

Melissa is unable to leave the quarantine zone, and has no help except for Homeland Security agent David Hood on the phone. Before the government takes drastic action, she must figure out what killed everyone and stop it from happening again. Or did Melissa herself, in a psychotic fit, murder her guardians–and the rest of the apocalypse is happening only inside her mind?

Editorial Reviews

"NEVER LET ME SLEEP is a disturbing glimpse into an unfolding apocalypse. This is genuine nightmare territory."

New York Times bestselling author of ROT AND RUIN - Jonathan Maberry

"Taut, tense, and terrifying, NEVER LET ME SLEEP grabs you and refuses to let you go until the final page."

Author of BEASTS OF TABAT - Cat Rambo

"It's a cliché to say 'I couldn't put the book down,' but greeting the dawn at about the time I read the final words suggests to me that I really couldn't. The situation is downright creepy, the horror rooted in tension rather than gore, and the protagonist is more than a little fascinating in her own right. Definitely hoping there's a sequel on the way."

Author of the MICK OBERON series - Ari Marmell

"The main character in NEVER LET ME SLEEP is irreverent and fun, even if her grip on reality is a little shaky. Teenager Melissa Allen struggles to determine why everyone around her has died. Tension and suspense lead to a satisfying ending."

Author of ZOMBIE DOME - H.E. Roulo
