The Night Guest

By Hildur Knútsdóttir

Book Overview

Dark things can happen on a long, cold Icelandic night...

I unn is in yet another doctor's office. She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that something's not right, but physicians dismiss her symptoms and blood tests don't reveal any cause.

When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same -- have you tried eating better? Exercising more? Establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch. Nothing helps.

Until one night I unn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find she's walked over 40,000 steps in the night . . .

What is happening when she's asleep? Why is she waking up with increasingly disturbing injuries? And why won't anyone believe her?

"The Night Guest pulls us by our throats down Reykjavik midnight streets in an unraveling nightmare. This book moved, thrilled, and terrified me."--CJ Leede, USA Today bestselling author of Maeve Fly
