As the city sleeps in the early hours of September 10, 2001, the killer waits and watches, unaware of the cataclysm to come.  Even the nightmare of 9/11 will not postpone his private reign of terror. 

 

Allison Taylor adores her adopted city, New York, loving every minute of the invigorating urban hustle.  But on a bright clear September morning, the familiar landscape around her is savagely altered-and in the midst of widespread chaos and fear, a woman living upstairs from her is found, brutally slaughtered and mutilated. 

 

For Allison…for her neighbour, James “Mack” MacKenna desperately searching for news of his missing wife…for homicide detective Rocky Manzillo, hunting for a monster called “The Nightwatcher” amid the smoking ruins of a devastated city, this tragic day will hold a special horror.  Because a different kind of terror has entered their lives…and it’s coming to claim Allison Taylor as its next victim. 

 

My Review: 

 

I felt so bad for Allison Taylor.  She was such an innocent victim in this story but these horrible things kept happening and she knew that someone was after her and what a terrible feeling it caused.  The day she came home and realized someone had been in her apartment would have done it for me. 

 

I was gripping this book so hard that my hands were turning white!  My heart was pounding, I was swallowing and turning the pages as fast as I possibly could.  Nightwatcher is a fast-paced suspense thriller like no other.  Your heart will just pound and pound as you read and you’ll want to force your brain to read the words faster and faster and faster.  It was so good that I read it within a few hours as I just couldn’t go to bed or do anything until I was done.  This is one book you simply can’t miss!!
