Lullaby: Nightmareland Volume Two (Nightmareland Chronicles)

It is rare when the second book of a series surpasses the first.

In no way am I diminishing the amazing first book, Nightfall. Nightfall was superbly written, it grabbed my attention and I have literally had it on my mind ever since I read it, attempting to muse out its mysteries while waiting for the second book.

Lullaby is a one sitting read. I didn't want to put it down - except that I had a bit of a fright at a certain part when my lights flickered and went out - right as Mariah made a ghastly discovery...I literally read "Mariah screamed." And the lights went out. I decided I might should wait and read this book in the daytime....lol

This book continued the story of Mariah and John as they leave Sheridan and head in search of John's family. Mariah's character development was strong and compelling - just spectacular to watch it happen.

A few curious things I picked up in this one and more questions and mysteries added - I am in physical pain waiting for the third book already.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - Daniel Barnett is a genius. He leveled up on this one.
