Nightmare Alley Novels & Stories

Thank you so much for reading "Broken Nightmare"! The second book will be out in about April of 2021 and I can't wait to share it with you. Here is a sneak-peek so you can take a look! Chapter 1 I woke slowly with my head pounding, feeling very disoriented. It was pitch black in my room as I opened my eyes. I reached over to turn my bedroom lamp on, but felt nothing. Where was my lamp? And then it all came back flooding to me. Liam kidnapped. Claire and the pack missing. The imprint.

POV Sammy I let what Cash's friend and Locke had told us sink in. If they were telling the truth, Kitty was in more danger than we thought. This trip was only going to take a couple of days. Luckily, the Vampires had a road system cleared the entire way down since they had been clearing roads since the start of the Nightmare. They used them to find humans that wanted to be turned. I realized that they were probably taking some humans to feed off of since we all needed blood but I didn't want to think about that part. I couldn't.

She mostly stared blankly at her computer screen and wrote letters to her mom in her big diary. One of such letters read: Hello mom, your daughter is thirteen already. Where's the gift you promised her? You never promised to gift her your dead body, so why are you not here? Why are you silent? Why's your phone number out of coverage? Why are you not replying your emails? Why are you not calling or texting her? Where are you? Are you in heaven? If yes, why so soon? You told your daughter you were going to Australia but why change your mind? You promised to come two weeks ago but you're still not here? Where are you? Are you even listening? Did you get stabbed by someone? Is your heart still b

He yanked his head as if about to snap it from its torso and asked in a very low and chilling tone, “So, where did your people take her?” The rogue whimpered, blood and teeth falling from his mouth when he finally confessed, “N-Nightshade Alley…” Dead silence followed it. Complete and utter silence fell over the clearing. While I glanced around all the clueless. The name seemed to have sent a spike of shocks through every Alpha’s heart. Even Ronan looked unsettled. “Nightshade Alley…” Alpha Jude stopped breathing. “They took her…where?” Gideon’s eyes widened. “What is Nightshade Alley?” I whispered under my breath but the four Alphas heard me clearly. Their reaction actually started to clue

The data chip remained hidden, a precious treasure close to her skin. Finally, the night of the third moon arrived. The city, bathed in its cool, ethereal glow, seemed to hold its breath. Anya navigated the twisting streets of District 17, her heart pounding against her ribs. She reached Midnight Alley, a notorious den of thieves and scavengers. The air hung heavy with the smell of stale food and something vaguely chemical.

The violet mist swirled, then parted like a curtain. The interior was a stark contrast to the grimy alley outside. It was a high-end lounge filled with a diverse crowd—some too pale, some with eyes that caught the light like cats, and all of them carrying a subtle, dangerous weight in their steps. This was the "Nexus," the place where the city’s paranormal entities came to trade secrets and hire fixers.

A wave of déjà vu creeps over me, causing me to shudder as I’m thrown back to the night of mine and Elijah’s interrupted date when the Nightcrawlers had plagued the streets just the same as they do now, this time leaving a more extensive trail of death behind them in their wake. Continuing to navigate solely on sound as the putrid smell only grows stronger the further I venture into the blood-soaked City, I finally reach the end of a narrow alley before finding myself within the City Centre. I look towards the commotion breaking out ahead when recognisable flashes of fur clash dart around meticulously in a dance-like flow while they battle their opponents, dodging the contorted figures lashi

I rolled and cracked my neck, about to say something smart to my ‘fireman’ when Ally snapped her head to me and held up a finger to her lips. I sit up very slowly and all my nerves are on edge. What is this place? A dark forest in the middle ages? Are we in someone’s subconscious? Nick moves in his predatory way checking all around us before joining Ally and I in our hunched over huddle behind a thick bush. Suddenly he freezes, and I see Ally turn her head to find what caught Nick’s attention. It’s a person. We are too far away for me to make out much else. It’s too dark. It’s a person and they are walking- and they’re gone. I blink again to check but no, my eyes are fine.

62 Alex I couldn’t sleep again that night. I tried—God knows I tried—but every time I closed my eyes, I saw him. Liam, bleeding out in that alley, his lifeless eyes staring into mine. The nightmare had shaken me to my core, leaving me drenched in sweat, my heart hammering in my chest. The room was dark and still, but my mind raced with fragments of the message, the nightmare, and the growing sense that something was horribly wrong. "I’ll strike again, and next time, nobody will help you."

My breath hitched in my throat. I followed the almost imperceptible scent of Darren, a faint, sweet ozone that mingled with the acrid tang of rising fear. It led me further into the winding, grimy labyrinth of the alleyways, a treacherous path. I rounded a sharp corner, skidding to a halt. The alley opened into a small, desolate courtyard, hemmed in by looming, derelict buildings. The only light came from a single, broken streetlamp casting long, dancing shadows.
