Nightmare

Storm of Ages #1

by Ellie M. Jalbert

Enormous waves erasing the coast. A city in flames crumbling into the wake. The girl in the red dress whose face cannot be seen.
Aurora Lockhart has been tormented by horrifying nightmares of an apocalyptic flood since the disappearance of her mother several years ago. Even by day the images haunt her, signs of something catastrophic revealing themselves despite her efforts to suppress their influence.
The sea approaches…
Aurora knows the dreams aren’t real. This doesn’t stop her from leaving it all behind, moving to Port City, the largest urban area in Maine to pursue an art degree, live with her best friend, and start over.
The storm is coming…
Something’s wrong, though, and signs point to the unthinkable. Can Aurora awaken from the nightmare, or will the city be swallowed by the sea?

Good

This book kept me on my toes and my curiosity up wondering what was going to happen next. Great read.

I absolutely loved the concept of this book and it definitely was a great story. I feel like there were some ideas that may not have been executed completely which made some parts hard to follow. I still want to read the next book because this one left off with so many unanswered questions. Overall while it’s not my favorite book that I’ve read I’m glad that I read it and will still read the next one.

WELL WRITTEN STORY THAT PULLS YOU IN

[Hanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

I bought this one a few years ago when it randomly came across my social media. Had never heard of the author, but I was glad because I couldn't it down! Then I discovered the second book was already out (Metamorphosis), and that one is even better than this one. More recently, the third book came out and since some time had passed, I decided to read the first two again as a refresher. Ellie M. Jalbert is so clever with her ability to plant seeds. The second time through, I noticed tons of details that seemed insignificant. My friend is halfway through the audiobook version of this book, and she is loving it. I think I may give it a third go!
