Jack Jackson has a new mission in life... but what will it cost him?

Beth Becker's life has gone from bad to worse. She's almost assaulted while trying to save a dog, she's late for work, and now her best friend is missing. Little does she realize that things are about to go even further downhill as there is an evil stalking her town, an evil that will destroy her and anyone else who crosses its path. Jack Jackson appears to be dangerous on the surface, but does he hold the key to what is destroying New Harbor, Connecticut? Will she team up with Jack in time to rescue what's left of her hometown?

NIGHTLIFE is a different twist on the vampire mythology. Matthew Quinn Martin does a marvelous job at showing us these hideous creatures through the eyes of a variety of characters, although the depiction of a "boogeyman" is perhaps my favorite image. It's nice to read a vampire book that harkens back to the old myths rather than giving us the cuddly, misunderstood, or sparkly versions.

NIGHTLIFE frequently references two mysterious groups, the Division and the Order of Sormen. Matthew Quinn Martin frequently alludes to these two shadowy organizations but we are given very little information about them. I want to know more about their purposes and how they tie in to the vampire contagion. Hopefully, future books will address these issues.

NIGHTLIFE is the perfect book to curl up with when you want a taste of horror. There are vicious vampires, lots of action, and plenty of gore to satisfy most horror fans. Even better, there is an underlying mystery that keeps you guessing as to just who or what is orchestrating this madness. I particularly like the inclusion of a scientific approach to fighting vampires. I look forward to seeing what happens next!
