Nightmare City by Andrew Klavan

About the Book
Tom Harding only wants the truth. But the truth is becoming more dangerous with every passing minute.
As a reporter for his high school newspaper, Tom Harding was tracking the best story of his life—when, suddenly, his life turned very, very weird. He woke up one morning to find his house empty . . . his street empty . . . his whole town empty . . . empty except for an eerie, creeping fog—and whatever creatures were slowly moving toward him through the fog.
Now Tom’s once-ordinary world has become something out of a horror movie. How did it happen? Is it real? Is he dreaming? Has there been a zombie apocalypse? Has he died and gone to hell?

Tom is a good reporter—he knows how to look for answers—but no one has ever covered a story like this before. With the fog closing in and the hungry creatures of the fog surrounding him, he has only a few hours to find out how he lost the world he knew. In this bizarre universe nothing is what it seems and everything—including Tom’s life—hangs in the balance.

My Thoughts
Wow, just wow! I began this book with the intention to read a couple chapters before bed and before I knew it I was over a hundred pages through! The only reason I put it down was because I was exhausted and I finished it one sitting the next day!
From the first scene you are completely sucked into the story and it doesn't let you go. After the first third you start to figure out what's going on but that in no way slows down the action! Tom is a great hero and I was cheering for him the whole time! Everything about this book was superbly done and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced read, especially teenage boys! I would say more but I don't want to spoil anything!
