About this book

For years, Naima lived in the shadow of the Mist, a terrifying phenomenon that unleashes deadly entities into the mortal realm. As a therapist specializing in trauma, she has dedicated her life to healing others, but she remains haunted by a singular, bloodthirsty demon named Zain. He is a creature of pure instinct and obsession, a nightmare made flesh who has stalked her for years, craving the delicious sound of her fear.

When Naima accepts a position at a government agency tasked with managing the Mist, she is forced to confront her darkest desire head-on. Zain is a monster devoid of empathy, yet their connection is an undeniable, volatile pull that defies all logic. When he breaches the veil to claim her, Naima makes an audacious, improbable proposition that forces the predator to question if he is the hunter or the prey.

This dark paranormal romance masterfully explores the thin line between terror and attraction. Regine Abel delivers a gripping tale of fated mates and forbidden obsession, perfect for readers who love high-stakes tension and morally grey heroes. Will Naima’s surrender be her salvation, or is she leading her nightmare straight into a lethal trap?

A surprise and yet not.

I love Regine’s stories, and The Mistwalker is one of my favorites. It seemed complete and not in need of a sequel. I also couldn’t imagine how she would pull off making a nightmare the hero. Silly me. In The Nightmare, she embellishes and creatively solidifies the world she had created in a very satisfying way. This is a dark fantasy, but she weaves her tale with plausibility and emotional depth. Fascinating. It reminded me a little bit of a couple of characters in the Anita Blake, Vampire...

Great read

I loved the way the author spun the tale of fighting your issues and overcoming them through recognition and therapy with a sexy walker who was derived from those issues. It was sexy, sweet, funny and somewhat scary but in a \"fight your demons\" kind of way. My review is probably too serious honestly as it was still a light read and I loved it! ) 2 people found this helpful
