The Nightmare Maker
Julian Adler is a husband, a father, and London's only Dreamwatcher, putting his magic and steel between the city's sleepers and their most terrifying nightmares. Now one of those nightmares has taken his wife away to unimaginable torments in another dimension—and Julian has vowed to get her back.
Spending his nights casting spells to find his wife and his days raising their daughter, Julian has abandoned his duty to protect the city. But when a serial killer nicknamed the Anarchist starts using dream-magic to butcher bankers in their beds, Julian can't ignore the corpses. Soon, supernatural detectives, secret societies, and the priests of forgotten gods are promising to help Julian get his wife back—if he can stop the murders.
Who should Julian trust? If he can't find his wife, why does everyone think that he can stop the killer? Fortunately, the fate of the world doesn't depend on his success…or does it?

Disclaimer: I was given this book for free by the author as part of the Library Thing Member Giveaway (LTMG) program for an honest review.
This story picked up where book #01 left off. I found it full of action and great character development I did not see the ending of book #01 coming and I did not see the end of book #02. It is a great story that you don't want to put down. Each of the characters have likeable and unlikable qualities but in the end, the good qualities in the majority of them come through. I found that all the characters were important to the story, not just the main one Julian. I believe his relationship with Jack, Father O, Badger, his wife Dana, his daugther Olivia and Mia important to how the story progressed and their involvment in the events that happen.
If you like great a story with good character development and not knowing if the good guys are good or the bad guys are really bad then this is a story that you would enjoy. In my opinion, this story ends on just as much as a cliff hanger as book #01. I'm really looking forward to the next installment in story.
