The Nightmare

The Mist, Book 2

By: Regine Abel

Narrated by: Daryl Mayfield

She was his obsession.

For years, Zain has stalked Naima, until she slipped through his fingers. He longs for the delectable taste of her terror, and the divine sound of her screams. She occupies his every thought, and he aches for her. Eager to reclaim the only female that can ever complete him, Zain carefully plans his passage into the Mortal Plane. However, when next the Mist rises, instead of hiding from her Nightmare, Naima makes him the most improbable proposition. Is his woman truly surrendering herself to him, or is this a trap to eliminate him for good?

He was her darkest desire.

For a long time, Naima feared the Mist that engulfs the world for three days every month, and especially the monsters that dwell within it. After facing her own demons, she becomes a psychotherapist to help others deal with trauma. When given the opportunity to join the governmental agency that deals with the Mist, she jumps at the chance. Except, she never expected it would mean facing her greatest Nightmare. He’s a bloodthirsty psychopath, with no sense of compassion or empathy. So why can’t she resist him? Why does he make her crave things she shouldn’t?

Awesome story and amazing narrator! I'd so love for the series to continue on!

WOW!!! Loved the series

I read (book) The Nightmare. Now it is on audible. I had to have it. Let me tell you, one of my best decisions yet. Daryl Mayfield did a phenomenal performance on bringing The Nightmare to life. I will look for more books with him as narrator.
This is book two of The Mist. Stand-alone HEA romance, interesting and unique storyline, action, suspense and sexy times.
Hopefully there will be more “MIST” books.

Miss Regine I love your books sooo much. I also love the narrator he has the perfect voice for male and female characters. when he reads your story's he brings them to life. I love how it feels like you are reading the book. please keep Mr Mayfield reading your books.

Glad I took the chance

I was afraid this would be a “fades to black” or YA book. Luckily that isn’t the case! Well written with an original world and a morally grey hero. This story definitely hits the spot if your looking for a sexy dark anti hero fantasy. Dual pov and good narration plus some decent detailed sex scenes make this well worth the credit.
My only complaint would be that implied kink isn’t explored. It seems like the relationship is setting up for some naughty fantasies but there just aren’t enough sex scenes to show it. Also I would have liked the guy to be a bit darker. It seemed like he was tamed pretty easily . Also I couldn’t buy the mfc as a psychiatrist but that doesn’t really effect the plot so it’s kinda moot.

Mild?

Great storyline not mild like I was worried about. But the pace picked up and it wasn't mild at all.

love love love

she had me at melted Carmel skin. i love that Zane is not a good guy and will burn the earth for her

Stayed for the narration

This book was a constant push and pull that left me pretty whiplashed. Examples : paragraph upon paragraph of Thomson and niema explaining how zaynes a psychopath and how he'll never change, then immediate attempts the Thompson and niema trying to change him. Or niema judging zayne for his psychopathy just to state what felt like sentences later that she would never judge zayne for his psychopathy. Luckily the tonal whiplash does ease up towards the end. I'm not particularly into the whole "psychopath with a sweet spot for me" kink but with how often the word psychopath is used, this felt very safe. I wanted to drop this mid-way but Daryl's voice just kept me in a choke hold. Amazing voice performance!
