City of Nightmares by Rebecca Schaeffer

readingwithkirstyn's review against another edition

City of Nightmares is published by an imprint of HarperCollins and as such I will be withholding my review at this time in support of the HarperCollins Union strike. I look forward to reviewing this title once HarperCollins has worked with the union and agreed to a fair contract.

A wonderfully crazy story. Set in a city reminiscent of Gotham City, but on acid.

The beginning of this book enticed me because the world was unique and the concept was fun to follow along with. I also enjoyed the beginning with the boat and shipwreck, then finding the vampire… but from there I just lost interest in the plot. I tried to skim read a few chapters ahead but found myself not as engaged in plot anymore. Also, certain things were repetitive to me.
