Prince of Nightmares by John McNee
5.0
***I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review. The opinions stated are solely my own and no one else’s. ***
Prince of Nightmares is a horror story written by John McNee and for this being his FIRST horror novel I have to say that in my opinion he has done a very good job of it. Prince of Nightmare is a truly engaging story that grips you from the first and keeps you turning page after page until you get to the final page of the story. There are twists, turns, secrets, mysteries and fear and it all comes together to weave a thrilling story that for the faint of heart might even make them not want to go to sleep at night for fear of their own nightmares.
The story starts off with a chapter that immediately grabs your attention and makes you want to know who the two characters are that we are so mysteriously introduced to but then it immediately shifts forward years and leaves us reeling from a sudden death as the main character, Victor, loses his wife suddenly and then finds himself at the Ballador House Hotel. The hotel is a favorite place for those who are into the supernatural and are looking for a good scare with the rooms that are proposed to give people nightmares being booked and reserved constantly. But Victor has a reservation…made by his late wife…before she died. She wanted him there…but why?
As time progresses with his stay there things begin to happen to Victor but not just to him…to the other guests who are staying there. The nightmares seem so real…they are happening more frequently…but why? What is happening? Who are the Residents, truly?
This book has you having questions but it answers them all before the end. I loved this story. It was so well written: the horror, the nightmares…how wake and sleep seemed and began to blend all into one until you never knew the difference. Each of the characters are unique in their own way and it just ups the level of how good this story is. For horror fans I’d say this book is a must read. I even think that it would do good being made into a movie because of how engaging it was! John McNee has really got some serious talent with this story and I hope that he takes the time to write another. I give this story 5 out of 5 stars and will definitely be purchasing a copy for myself and recommending to any and all fans of horror. This book has great potential to become a classic of horror for sure in my opinion.
