  • From the award-winning author of Goldie and the Kingdom of Florida series comes the third installment in the thrilling Magic City Wonders series: Nightmare Array.

    Love, betrayal, and the supernatural collide in this chilling and nostalgic Miami thriller.

    The hunt for Donna Locke’s lost love, Marcus, reaches a tense and thrilling conclusion in the final book in the trilogy. But nothing is as Donna hoped: Marcus has disappeared again and, worse, he believes Donna is the villain. Heartbroken and desperate, Donna must rely on her friends and her wits to track him down and convince him of the truth—before it’s too late.

    Meanwhile, Miami cops Rico and Tracy are drawn into another string of supernatural occurrences that grow darker and more dangerous with each passing night, putting their love and trust to the test.

    Set in 1980s Miami against the eerie, haunting backdrop of Halloween, and full of suspense, chilling twists, and unforgettable characters, this conclusion to the story of Donna Locke blends supernatural thriller, urban fantasy, and suspense in a mystery story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.

    Fans of Stranger Things, Miami Vice, fast-paced supernatural mystery thrillers, and light-hearted sci-fi adventure stories with a dark twist will be captivated by this third, spine-tingling installment of the Magic City Wonders series. And while Donna Locke’s trilogy comes to a thrilling conclusion, there are more stories to come in the Magic City Wonders series…
