Nightmare (Dangerous Times #2)
When Maia Peters visits during her senior year of college, she's not expecting to be impressed. Maia grew up as the only child of a pair of world-renowned "ghost hunters," so the paranormal is nothing new. In fact, the ride feels pretty boring until the very end. There, a face appears from the mist. The face of Jordin Cole, a girl who disappeared from campus a year ago.
Convinced what she saw wasn't a hoax and desperate to find answers to Jordin's disappearance, Maia launches into a quest for answers. Joined by Jordin's boyfriend--a pastor's kid with very different ideas about the spirit realm--Maia finds herself in a struggle against forces she never expected to confront.

Wow !!!!A real rollercoaster, had me gripped from the start, characters are believable. If you do read this book take the time to read the authors closing comments on the paranormal, it's dangerous.
OMG WHAT AN INTERESTING WAY OF approaching the paranormalAt first I read a couple of pages but I finished clicking with the book and then I got to the best part and I read 300 pages in one day, that's how interesting the book is. At one point you feel stuck with the characters but then the best revelations come true, it was incredible to read a story so full of mystery and realism at the same time. A very interesting and exciting read, I recommend it.

Alright. First the good; this is interesting. The premise is new, the meshing of current events with past investigations flows and manages to advance the story smoothly. It was a fast and enjoyable read, and I was actively curious to find out what's going on. The ending felt a bit abrupt; the tone shifted from investigative to... faintly stylized? Symbolic?I'm not counting it as a horror novel; the driving force behind the story seems to be investigation and mystery. Given the supernaturalThanks to the recommendation of my friend and fellow reviewer ClickingHerHeels, I became very interested in reading Nightmare by Robin Parrish.
