MY REVIEW
They say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover. I believe that, but….. this is a killer cover and right from first glance had me leaning in to see everything. Then, I read the synopsis and was sold.
Imagine. You’re walking down the street at night. The same street you always walk on. And something catches your eye. You stop, trying to figure out what’s different. It’s not obvious, but you notice the decorative iron fence has changed. Then, you cut through the park and something about the trash can raises the hairs all over your body. You give it a wide berth, chalking it up to your imagination. Not long after you’re being chased by said trash can.
Becket hadn’t mean for it to happen. She thought she was rescuing an abandoned baby. That’s not what it was though. Now, the city that looks normal during the day has turned into a deadly otherworldly domain at night. This book was right up my alley. I ate it up hook, line and sinker. I remember when I watched Stephen King’s IT. Never walked by another sewer drain without moving across the road again. And now I no longer casually walk across a manhole cover. You never know…….
I’d love for this made into a movie. Some of the scenes would be out of this world to see. Just look at the cover!

Synopsis
It starts with a cry in the night.
Becket, walking her dog one winter evening, fears it’s an abandoned baby left out in the cold. But it is something else—something evil—and it tricks Becket into opening a doorway to another realm, letting a darkness into our world, a corruption that begins transforming Philadelphia into a sinister and menacing version of itself…but only at night.
The changes are subtle at first, causing Becket to doubt her senses and her sanity. But soon the nightmarish truth is impossible to deny: By day, the city is just a city, but at night it literally comes alive with malevolent purpose. Brick and steel become bone, streetlights turn into gallows, and hungry alleys wait to snare mortal victims. Terrified citizens huddle indoors after dusk, as others succumb to the siren song of the night, letting their darker sides run wild.
Once, Becket’s biggest problems were living up to her police commissioner father’s high expectations and a secret crush on her best friend’s boyfriend. Now she must find a way to survive and protect her loved ones…before the darkness takes her as well.
