What people are saying about Lost in a Nightmare…
“Thrilling. Suspenseful. Cringeworthy. It’s an eerie read, which is exactly the point. You find yourself in the normal world of 2 young girls living their best lives in DC, then you’re thrown into a nightmare world!”
“Talk about suspenseful! This book has great character development and an amazing plot line! It’s one of those books you can finish in a blink of an eye because you can’t put it down! Highly recommend!!!”
“This book gave me spooky vibes like crazy… I got goosebumps so many times while reading it and thought about it while I was falling asleep. Eek! Quick and fast paced!”
“This book is so suspenseful! It’s hard to put down once you are all-consumed with the storyline of what could happen in the dream-world.”
“LOST IN A NIGHTMARE is a rich blend of horror and thriller, emphasizing Greek mythology and the nightmares we so desperately wish to wake up from. Meadows does a wonderful job weaving together complex plot points and relational found-family dynamics while also educating the reader about some of history’s most beautiful paintings. It was a unique story for the ages, one that made my spine tingle and my body cringe.”
“Absolutely loved this book. Kept me interested the whole way through. I usually lose interest in books fast but not this one. I can’t wait to see what Meadows does next!!!””
What people are saying about The Nightmare Returns…
“THE NIGHTMARE RETURNS certainly lives up to its counterpart! This sequel was gritty, fantastical, and emotional. Meadows did a great job of revisiting the world she created in LOST IN A NIGHTMARE while also creating an engaging and fresh plot for her returning cast. This book once again toes the line between thriller and horror, so if you’re someone who loves a good genre blend, I would highly recommend this series!”
